Hullo there,
I've stuck an HP LaserJet 1018 onto a debian stable box. Printer only has usb connection. However, hp-probe says there are no devices found, and lsusb agrees with this.
Other usb devices work on this computer, and the printer works on a different (ubuntu) computer. The cups web interface detected a new printer, saying it was on "hp:/usb/HP_LaserJet_1018?serial=KP110YP". Printing a test page just gives the syslog error "knossos kernel: usb 1-2: usbfs: USBDEVFS_CONTROL failed cmd hpiod rqt 161 rq 1 len 1 ret -110 Oct 17 11:36:10 knossos hpiod: invalid Device::DeviceStatus: Connection timed out hp:/usb/HP_LaserJet_1018?serial=KP110YP io/hpiod/device.cpp 818 Oct 17 11:36:10 knossos hpiod: unable to read Device::GetDeviceStatus: Connection timed out hp:/usb/HP_LaserJet_1018?serial=KP110YP io/hpiod/device.cpp 1081"
Have I missed out some modules to install, perchance? I've done an inordinate amount of googling on the various errors and found very little of help, and am stumped.
Thanks,
Jenny

Does dmesg say anything about the printer being plugged in? If not then can you see the printer appear on the usb bus if you boot the machine from a linux live cd with a different kernel version or something? Also, have you checked and swapped cables for known good ones and used the same usb ports for both tests? I'll admit i'm a bit stumped too.

Have you got USB support ? Its an old one, but try lsmod and see if anything USB is in there.

dmesg: no. It reports usb 1-2: usbfs: USBDEVFS_CONTROL failed cmd hpiod rqt 161 rq 1 len 1 ret -110 every so often so it knows something is there though. I also haven't checked the cable - I'll have to wait till I'm physically there again now. I tried both usb ports. I'll also try the reboot with live cd when there if still not solved, and try the printer back on the old computer it was on to see what messages I can get.

Yes: other usb devices work fine, using OHCI module.
Thanks for the comments,

I was just going to suggest checking the cable... ;)

She did say other usb devices are working so I'd think that at least something was working ;)
Oh, and your quoting was a bit broken on that last message :-/
