I have a bidirectional usb printer and I was woundering how I would get that
to work with user space programs and if it really is supported. When I load
all my USB things and the printer.o it says Bidirectional USB Printer =
usblp0
Pleaze help.
Thanx?s in advance

Doesn't sounds like a problem. Merely have to set up LPR or whatever printing
subsystem is in use w/ your distribution. You never said what distribution,
so I can't tell you what to do to configure your box. Presumably, all u need
to do is configure whatever LPR equivalent to use /dev/usblp0 (or do a find
for lp0 in your /dev/ directory).

It's kind of hard when you don't tell us enough to give you a concise answer.
Please help us by helping yourself in the future.

BTW, next time try to cc: to the appropriate subsystem maintainer (in this
case USB and/or printing/parport) not the kernel maintainer. Neither Linus or
Marcelo need to be cc:'d for this kind of question.

If at first you don't succeed, cheat. Repeat until caught, and then
lie.

I?m sorry I use Slackware-8.0 + Current
And one more thing could you give me the e-mail address for the USB
Maintainers.

What does current mean? 2nd (and this is not a problem w/ u, but rather me) I
know nada about Slackware, and the people I know who know about Slackware
don't read LKML)

Kindly, RTFM. Maintainers are listed in <kernel src>/MAINTAINERS
Also, this is not to mean that the q shouldn't be on lkml

They were big and little creatures. Some were hairy with long, thin
tails, and some had noses long as pokers. Some had bulging eyes and
some had 20 toes. In they came -- crashing through the door, sliding
down the chimney, crawling through the windows. They shouted and
cried. They banged pots and pans. They twirled their tails and tapped
their toes upon the wooden floor. He watched as the trolls gobbled the
food and threw the plates and drank everything in sight. They
continued to shout and scream, to scratch the walls and pound the
floors and slap their tails upon the table. The tiny trolls were the
worst of all. They screamed at the top of their lungs and pulled each
others' tails.
