Hi Pete,

This pic would be great for a story I’m putting up on The Wheeler website. Mind if I use it?

Cheers

You cannot use this code for Linux or Mac. Those systems have totally different APIs so you will have to write code from scratch. The USB API for those platforms is very well documented so you should have no problem writing code to achieve the same thing on those platforms.

Hi, great post!

I’m trying to port a Windows code that uses usbprint to linux and mac, and I need the linux/mac replacements for IOCTL_USBPRINT_VENDOR_SET_COMMAND and IOCTL_USBPRINT_VENDOR_GET_COMMAND windows ioctl’s. Any idea?

Thanks in advance

Iam trying to simulate USB printer device using microsoft’s device simulation framework. When a real USB printer is pluged, two device nodes appear in windows device manager 1. USB Printing support under host controllers(USB enumarator). 2. another node with USBPRINT enumarator as explained in the following link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff560809(v=vs.85).aspx But when the simulated device pluged in only USB printing support is created. the simualted device sends the response for GET_DEVICE_ID request by sending IEEE 1284 device ID. the string is sent as unsigned char, first two bytes gives the length and rest of the string is MFG,CMD,MDL,CLS,status values. But still the second node in the device manager is not created. any other way to invoke the host to create another node?
