Re: [LI] Configuring the USB Ports and HP Scanner in Linux

[Swapan Sarkar <swapan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

USB is not enabled in the default kernel setup. You will need to
recompile or get someone to recompile the kernel for you.
Basically there are 2 options which are little different:
a) kernel ver 2.2.x or b) kernel ver 2.3.x
The HOWTO at the following site describes everything regarding USB on
Linux
http://www.linux-usb.org/

Here is the gist:
 Printer/Parallel Port                         Working, mostly
complete                                        Main kernel source
