How do I install a Canon Mp130 printer on Linux Mint

RIMSKI — Sat, 04 Oct 2014 13:49:25 -0400

How do I install this printer on Linux Mint. I've downloaded the recommended driver (ip1500). This is the file: bjfilter-pixmaip1500-2.50-2.i386.rpm. Everything set up okay using add printer in Mint. But when I did a test page, nothing happened except a stall at 29 percent.

USB Soundcard with stereo input & output

varunsrin — Tue, 16 Jul 2013 04:20:54 -0400

I'm looking for a USB sound card, that meets the following criteria:

Has decent Linux driver compat
Has a stereo line-in and stereo line-out (most cards have a mono line-in for mics)
Is small (usb thumb drive size preferably)
Doesn't alter or process the sound (e.g. THX enhancements)

Right now, the only devices I've found are:

http://www.cooldrives.com/usb20auadbox.html [ a little too large for what I want]

http://www.amazon.com/electronics/dp/B0044DEDC0 [not sure if it supports Linux, and seems to modify the signal]

Thanks in advance if anyone has experience with this - haven't had much luck searching for it online.

FTDI driver installation issues

astralmaster — Tue, 14 May 2013 14:37:36 -0400

Hi, I am trying to install a VCP driver for FT232R chip from ftdichips.com. Unfortunatey there is no installation manual/guidelines for linux driver available. When I try to build the source of the driver by

sudo make

it outputs the following error:

fatal error: /lib/modules/3.0.0-12-generic/build/include/linux/modversions.h: No such file or directory

I think it might be because I have my linux headers in diffrent directory installed? In which case I would have to create a symlink? OS: Ubuntu 11.10

Thank you

Forcing a specific driver for a device, through udev [solved]

indienick — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 22:32:02 -0400

My co-workers and I are trying to develop a USB device, which uses an FTDI chip as a USB-serial controller. The thing is, we would ideally like to set a cusom idVendor and idProduct on the FTDI chip.

The problem occurs that when we set custom idVendor and idProduct values, udev(7) loads the "usb" driver. If we leave the idVendor and idProduct values to their originals, udev(7) loads the "ftdi_sio" driver. The whole reason for the custom idVendor and idProduct values is so that I can (hopefully) write a udev(7) rule to map that particular device to a specific entry in /dev.

Is there a way to write a udev(7) rule so that you can forcefully load a particular driver for a device? Is there something else that could be done to get a similar result?

EDIT: I have been searching on Google for this, for upwards of 5 hours now, so yes, I have searched if anyone cares to know. ;)
