Hi,
I recently bought a USB -> LPT adapter to be able to connect my Apple LaserWriter printer to my new notebook, which doesn't have any LPT ports. Unter Vista all works fine without any further configuration needed. So I'm pretty sure, that adapter and printer are working well.
Under Arch Linux I plug the adapter and get the following messages from the system:
dmesg:

I have loaded all kernel modules which are, according to the wiki cups tutorial, neccessary: usblp, lp, parport_lp.
During my research, I even got a response from usblp:
usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 26 if 0 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x1A86 pid 0x7584
usblp0: nonzero read bulk status received: -84
usblp0: nonzero read bulk status received: -84
usb 4-1: USB disconnect, address 26
But I'm not sure, how I got so far
Is there someone who also uses an adapter for printing and is able to help me?
