No USB after install Live CD to HD

Hi, after install "AL-AMLUG Live CD 0.4.2" to Hard Disk, my (in info center) USB is there but in th tree, does not appears my printer (Epson Stylus C82) and my Scanner (HP 5700).
How can I put this working???
I have this working on my home pc:
* Sound Blaster - emu10k1;
* Ethernet - eepro100;
* Plextor 24/10/40 CDRW;
* Lite ON 401S (patched to 411S) 4/4/16 DVDRW (+/-);
* Hard Disk 40 Gb with ArchLinux (AL-AMLUG Live CD 0.4.2);

* USB;

Note: Running ArchLinux with Live CD, I can see in "info center" USB tree with printer and scanner.

Re: No USB after install Live CD to HD

i am not sure why your printer is not working but likely for your scanner you will need libusb installed. i am not sure how out of sync with the current arch that the live cd is but there are some changes in the most recent 2.6 kernels that will force you to re configure your system.

likely for your printer though you are not loading the module.

Re: No USB after install Live CD to HD

The current Live CD (0.4.2) use kernel 2.4.24. It includes CUPS but no pre-installed usb printer modules. Only usb-uchi or usb-ochi (depending on the system) in /etc/rc.local.

Remove the line "modprobe usb-xchi" (x = "o" or "u") in /etc/rc.local and add the usb system module in /etc/rc.conf including module "printer"

Example:
MODULES=(!usbserial !ide-scsi usb-ochi printer)

Re-boot and configure your printer with CUPS web interface: http://localhost:631/admin/
