I'd like to connect a parallel port printer to my new desktop and have got a Connectland C36 cable that shows up as: Bus 003 Device 002: ID 067b:2305 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2305 Parallel Port.I've tried the URI /dev/usb/lp0 but I don't mange to set the printer working. May I need any driver?
View 8 RepliesI have been trying to install an old HP Laserjet 4100 printer using an USB to Parallel Cable (Cables Limited USB IEEE 1284 printer cable). The driver provided with the cable worked on windows XP and I was able to print. The cable is also sold as supporting Linux but it seems that is was tested for fedora core 4 and Moschip Support Team wrote me that ubuntu 9.04 was not supported. When trying to install the driver (makefile) I got a lot of errors (see annex) . I have a System 76 PC with ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-17-generic, intel(R) Core(TM). Whwn connected the printer is not recognized.
How to install the cable ? Or any trade / model of printer cable really able to work with ubuntu ?

I am trying to print to an HP LaserJet 6L via a USB->parallel printercable, from a CentOS 5.3 machine using CUPS 1.3.7, but I cannot get itto work.When I plug the cable into the USB port on the CentOS computer, I seethat the following devices are created:
crw------- 1 root root 442, 6145 Aug 13 08:28 /dev/usbdev4.2_ep00
crw------- 1 root root 442, 6145 Aug 13 08:28 /dev/usbdev4.2_ep02
crw------- 1 root root 442, 6145 Aug 13 08:28 /dev/usbdev4.2_ep81

what shell command I should look into that will "mount" a printer that is present in lsusb output, but not present in /dev/usb/? I have a working printer connected with a Parallel to USB printer cable, but after I reboot the machine the printer is not "mounted" (for lack of the correct term?) at /dev/usb/lp0 until I unplug the USB cable and plug it back in lsusb sees it always though.

I have a reverse ethernet cable and I want to use it to connect a desktop 10.04 Lucid + laptop 10.04 Lucid
How do I do this ? I have no routers, no hubs. This is so I can transfer HD ISO backup files.
how I could file share, or make the whole Hard Drive (HDD) accessible to another computer. The two other computers I have are a Toshiba Laptop with Ethernet and USB, and a iMac Intel with Firewire, USB, and Ethernet. Putting these to use along with:
Three Ethernet Cables
Two Printer Peripheral USB Cables
The Two Computers
A 2GB Flash Drive
That is all I can think of right now. I do not want to use CDs. In a way, I would like to do a network boot. So, how do I get the whole HDD visible to the others computers (either/both) and be able to write to it? I want to put Xubuntu on it, and earse the rest of the Hard Drive. The computers getting this are the iMac G3s and the eMac G4. The eMac has 256MB RAM, 40GB HDD, and a 700MHz processor. Two iMacs have 128MB RAM, 40GB HDD, and a 600MHz Processor. The other iMac is the same as the rest but has a 500MHz processor.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been running an old DOS app that reads and writes the parallel port bits to do a control task. Its worked great running on Ubuntu 6.06 but I can't get the version on 10.04 to read and write the actual hardware. I can't find what is missing from the configuration, as I recall all I did on 6.06 was edit /etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf to uncomment the line:
$_ports = $_ports, " device /dev/lp0 range 0x378 0x37a" in the "Direct Hardware access" section and start the xdosemu session as root. The process runs in the background and has "just worked" for years. This has got me stuck as the last step of migrating from 6.06 to 10.04 -- everything except this, postfix, samba, etc. couldn't have been easier, but I'm stuck now
Yes the new motherboard parallel port is set for 0x378 and it shows in /proc/ioports. I guess it could be defective, but the software reads back the values it writes and thinks its working, its just none of the outputs change and changes on the inputs are not read so the code is stuck waiting for the initial response to its first output.
I have a simple testing program like this:
/*The Parallel Hello World Program*/
#include <stdio.h>
#include <mpi.h>
[code]...
My program is, I can't compile this program using gcc, and I can't find something like pgcc in ubuntu. How should I compile this program? After compiling, what should I do to run this program? Can I use something like mpirun to run it? I want to try to use both cores of my computer to run it and make it shows Node 1 also besides Node0.
I have been tinkering around with CUPS for the last few days trying to get print sharing to work. Did not have problems printing documents from this desktop. When I went to print a document I found that my printer was not listed. Using localhost:631/admin shows lists the printer, but when I open System->Administration->Printing, the window opens (after a few seconds), grays out, and a blank display. The option to add a printer is grayed out.
In terminal window:
lpstat -v
lpstat: Connection timed out
lpinfo -v
lpinfo: Connection timed out
What happened to the parallel port?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI like the way 10.04 lts is running on my old PC, except I can't seem to install my HP 895C. This printer worked on previous releases on Ubuntu. The printer is local and cabled to the PC's parallel port. But "Add" under printing doesn't show any parallel printers under local printers. Only shows serial port, other, and network printers. Is this because 10.04 is beta? "Troubleshooting printers" doesn't have a list of printers. Is the lpt1 in PC speak /dev/lp0 in Linux? Should that be the printer URI?

How is it possible to work with 2 Firefox profiles in parallel in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS?
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy new Shuttle runs Debian fine, but like most new systems, the old serial and parallel ports are long gone. I have no problems with the serial port - there is a Sourceforge driver to use with most PL-2303 type USB to Serial adapter cables. But, I am having trouble googling up the USB to Parallel connection. There are no lack of USB/Parallel cables, but all that I have found come with canned software for Windows and only for connecting a printer. I have several non-printer devices that connect via the P-Port that I access using a Perl driver from CPAN. Anybody know of an open source *nix driver for any particular USB/PP cable? Or had any experience in moving from the straight PP to a USB/PP connection to a non-printer device?

So, does putting in a & after a command work in a bash script at all? The thought was, if I want to run them in parallel, should I do this?
Code: #!/bin/bash
./scripts/dumpthis &
./scripts/dumpthat &
./scripts/dumpsomemore & Where "dumpthis" is just the first snippet of code above.
I have a shell script to refresh some databases. Currently I open 5 sessions and to execute the five scripts.
Today, as test, I tried to see if I could run two refreshes simultaneously from one session using the '&':
. /refresh.ksh db1 &
. /refresh.ksh db2
The first one ran and the second one started only after the first one was finished. Could it be that the script refresh.ksh contains many commands and those are not pushed to the background? If so, what's the best approach to getting 5 db's refresh simultanously from on session?

I was asked to research if it is possible to install a Debian distribution of Linux to HP Z420 Workstations as second OS (dual boot) in our lab. The lab is normally used for Computer Aided Design (Windows 7). The plan is to have parallel computing possible with these workstations on Linux side.
The link for HP Z420 Specs suggests amd64 distrubition should be supported. Tell me If I'm wrong as I have always been interested in software side of things.
Looking for info regarding installation of Debian to HP Z420 workstations as well as using these computers for parallel computing with Debian.
