Bonjour, I have a HP 1015 usb printer and it works fine except that I have very often to reconfigure it: from time to time this printer works no more; a "lpq" command return this message: "printer is not ready" and I have to re-install it. Today, I am unable to reinstall it: I got always this message: "unable to open /dev/usb/lp0 no such device" I caught in the log the messages before the "catastroph": Jul 31 12:22:49 krishna kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:1d.2-1, assigned address 2 Jul 31 12:22:49 krishna kernel: usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x3f0/0xe17) is not claimed by any active driver. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ what is the meaning of this it happens every time?
