Description Alfred 2004-10-01 06:56:50 UTC 
Distribution: Debian sarge
Hardware Environment: Dymo Label writer 320 ( + VIA VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1
Controller )
Software Environment:
Problem Description:

Kernel 2.4:

localhost kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:10.1-1, assigned address 9
localhost kernel: printer.c: usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 9 if 0 alt 0
proto 2 vid 0x0922 pid 0x0010
localhost usbmgr[890]: vendor:0x922 product:0x10
localhost usbmgr[890]: class:0x7 subclass:0x1 protocol:0x2
localhost usbmgr[890]: USB device is matched the configuration
localhost usbmgr[890]: "printer" was loaded 

It is working and /dev/usb/lp0 exists


kernel 2.6:

kernel: usb 3-1: new low speed USB device using address 4
kernel: usblp: probe of 3-1:1.0 failed with error -5
usbmgr[1678]: vendor:0x922 product:0x10
usbmgr[1678]: class:0x7 subclass:0x1 protocol:0x2
usbmgr[1678]: USB device is matched the configuration
usbmgr[1678]: "printer" was loaded 


usblp gives the "kernel: usblp: probe of 3-1:1.0 failed with error -5" error and
/dev/usb/lp0 is there but does not exist/work.

Comment 1 Alfred 2004-10-01 08:55:36 UTC 
After a little debug work I noticed that it is marked as buggy hardware in 2.6
while it is not marked as buggy in 2.4.

line 1042 for usblp.c
  /* Ignore buggy hardware without the right endpoints. */
  if (!epwrite || (ifd->desc.bInterfaceProtocol > 1 && !epread))
   continue;

after I had disabled the line I got:
 Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000002
  printing eip:

Comment 2 Adrian Bunk 2005-08-05 02:55:47 UTC 
Is this problem still present:
- in kernel 2.6.13-rc5 and
- without any external modules loaded since booting?
Comment 3 Greg Kroah-Hartman 2005-08-18 21:36:37 UTC 
I'm sorry, but you have broken hardware, as the kernel states.
