<PRE>Hello,

My wife is trying to use a Xyron Wishblade in Linux with the
graphtecprint program (<A HREF="http://vidar.botfu.org/graphtecprint">http://vidar.botfu.org/graphtecprint</A>).  It
looks like the program accesses /dev/usb/lp* directly, which no longer
exists.

Is there a different device that it can open?  I tried /dev/lp* and
the actual usb device from /dev/bus/usb, but opening the device
failed:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File &quot;./graphtecprint-1.0.1/graphtecprint&quot;, line 422, in &lt;module&gt;
    dialog.on_rescan_clicked()
  File &quot;./graphtecprint-1.0.1/graphtecprint&quot;, line 178, in on_rescan_clicked
    scanprinters()
  File &quot;./graphtecprint-1.0.1/graphtecprint&quot;, line 349, in scanprinters
    id = getprinterident(dev)
  File &quot;./graphtecprint-1.0.1/graphtecprint&quot;, line 68, in getprinterident
    x = fcntl.ioctl(f.fileno(), 0x84005001, '\x00' * 256)
IOError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted

I haven't modified the permissions of the device yet, but I don't
think that's the problem.  I couldn't get usb_printerid to work on any
devices either.

Thank you,

Jeff
