1.	Solve : What's wrong with printing to a usb printer??
Answer» I installed usblp.ko from Linux KERNEL source into my Ubuntu. I checked attribute of /dev/usb/lp0 is 'crw-rw-r--'. I used command 'echo hello > /dev/usb/lp0' to test a printer which was verified successfully at Windows. I got message "bash: /dev/usb/lp0: permission denied". What's wrong with it? What should I do to print to a usb printer?Did you read the documentation? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers Think about it. USB is used for a lot of stuff. Suppose a mouse was in the port INSTEAD of the printer? In that case, would you expect a squeakily title voice say 'Hello World' ? Its been quite a while since I printed anything through Linux since I create PDFs of anything important to save money, and what little printing I do is through Windows OS, however way BACK when I needed to get my system to print to the Epson C60 Stylus USB printer, I had to install and configure CUPS to make it work. Have you configured CUPS? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUPS
