Hi,

I am currently trying to connect my HP 50g with my Debian Lenny
(k. 2.6.26-2-686-bigmem), through HP Talx 1.3.1.

When reading the readme for 49g+ models, I realized that a module had
to be loaded. For kernels like 2.6.26 (i.e. those later than 2.6.14),
the module to launch is `hp4x'. I issued the related commands to
load it, I appended it to /etc/modules, and, to see which port my HP
is connected to, I also issued

==
# dmesg | grep new
[33495.764234] usbcore: registered new interface driver hp4X

[49282.808812] usb 8-2.3.3: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 20
==

The problem is that I need to choose a port at HP Talx's GUI, and
ehci_hcd is completely unuseful here. What can I do?

Note that the HP is connected to an 8-port USB adapter, which is then
connected to the front-adapter of my PC.

Thanks.

Assuming you don't use any other USB to serial adapters, it should be
on /dev/ttyUSB0.

It is actually not an USB-to-serial adapter, but it was, as you said,
/dev/ttyUSB0. The answer is at
http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.user/browse_thread/thread/1edc05d982aa69d7#.

Thanks.
