USB printer support?

I have a Canon printer which worked well on parallel port. I changed my
printer connection to a USB one. It works well in Windows and Linux
Mandrake 8.1
Is there a command I can use the USB in QNXRtP 6.1?

I think the USB stack isn’t started automaticaly. Try manually starting
devu-ohci or devu-uhci. Then I think you must also start
the proper printer driver.

I have only done this on an embedded system where the startup
procedure was custom made. I’m not familliar with the procedure
under QNX6 desktop installtion.

I believe the driver is devu-prn (for generic USB printers).

I tried devu-prn & no error, but the printer does not work.
In parallel, the printer name is given as BJC-250, and works. In usb, there
would probably need an extra command? right? but which.
Maybe someone could be kind enough to show me how to use it.

The -n option to devu-prn should set the device name, (default is
/dev/subprn0). Since I don’t have a USB printer I’m shooting in the dark;),
is there anything coming when you start your driver with a -v option (be verbose)?
