Quite so. The docs all say that too. I was clutching at straws. |

OK, checked all those, but still no printer. The one dmesg entry is: |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
usb 3-5.1: new full-speed USB device number 9 using xhci_hcd |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
I wonder whether I have USB support right in the kernel. I have checked, but |
| 37 |
nothing leaps out at me. [1] |

It doesn't show anything. Apparently the printer is just not there, except |
| 43 |
for its USB interface. |

1. I tried setting CONFIG_USB_ANNOUNCE_NEW_DEVICES=y, and a few other |
| 46 |
things (diff attached), and now I get more info in dmesg: |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
[ 91.472049] usb 3-5.1: new full-speed USB device number 7 using xhci_hcd |
| 49 |
[ 91.561360] usb 3-5.1: New USB device found, idVendor=0482, |
| 50 |
idProduct=000e |
| 51 |
[ 91.561363] usb 3-5.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, |
| 52 |

| 53 |

| 54 |

| 55 |
[ 91.561367] usb 3-5.1: SerialNumber: XAX5X26731 |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
So the printer is definitely there; I just need more splinters under my |
| 58 |
fingernails. |
