Hi,

Please post to the list.

setserial /dev/ttyUSB0 baud_base 115200 spd_normal skip_test

might work.

I did bought a new usbserial, another brand, they didn't have the serial tester at my local store, same thing.*
The serial printer works fine when connected to the serial port, but doesn't work when connected to the usbserial. Now it's a Clone one... *


It has the bMaxPacketSize = 64 which I read indicates a PL2303X but my kernel is 2.6.37... which should handle it oftb...
I did read somewhere that you should click the palm sync button to make it work... but I don't have anything like this... I think the printer will not send anything*through serial... just receive...*

At this point it is clear that you need one of these:



http://www.cooldrives.com/rsledlitedbm.html

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16899200013&Tpk=serial%20tes ter



Always have a serial tester handy. *They're cheap and can save you lots

of time. *Not all USB<->serial adapters are created equally. *Some work,

some don't. *A tester will at least tell you if the problem is with the

cable adapter device or within your host software configuration.

Thanks... then it's for tomorrow... because it's almost 2 AM here... :-)*

I don't know how much stupid I am... but I included the the original printer cable and it printed... as if the printer serial cable was a null modem... thank you all... sorry about the noisy...*
