Linux USB Printer Gadget Driver
06/04/2007
Copyright (C) 2007 Craig W. Nadler <craig@nadler.us>
GENERAL
=======
This driver may be used if you are writing printer firmware using Linux as
the embedded OS. This driver has nothing to do with using a printer with
your Linux host system.
You will need a USB device controller and a Linux driver for it that accepts
a gadget / "device class" driver using the Linux USB Gadget API. After the
USB device controller driver is loaded then load the printer gadget driver.
This will present a printer interface to the USB Host that your USB Device
port is connected to.
This driver is structured for printer firmware that runs in user mode. The
user mode printer firmware will read and write data from the kernel mode
printer gadget driver using a device file. The printer returns a printer status
byte when the USB HOST sends a device request to get the printer status. The
user space firmware can read or write this status byte using a device file
/dev/g_printer . Both blocking and non-blocking read/write calls are supported.
HOWTO USE THIS DRIVER
=====================
To load the USB device controller driver and the printer gadget driver. The
following example uses the Netchip 2280 USB device controller driver:
modprobe net2280
modprobe g_printer
The follow command line parameter can be used when loading the printer gadget
(ex: modprobe g_printer idVendor=0x0525 idProduct=0xa4a8 ):
idVendor - This is the Vendor ID used in the device descriptor. The default is
the Netchip vendor id 0x0525. YOU MUST CHANGE TO YOUR OWN VENDOR ID
BEFORE RELEASING A PRODUCT. If you plan to release a product and don't
already have a Vendor ID please see www.usb.org for details on how to
get one.
idProduct - This is the Product ID used in the device descriptor. The default
is 0xa4a8, you should change this to an ID that's not used by any of
your other USB products if you have any. It would be a good idea to
start numbering your products starting with say 0x0001.
bcdDevice - This is the version number of your product. It would be a good idea
to put your firmware version here.
iManufacturer - A string containing the name of the Vendor.
iProduct - A string containing the Product Name.
iSerialNum - A string containing the Serial Number. This should be changed for
each unit of your product.
iPNPstring - The PNP ID string used for this printer. You will want to set
either on the command line or hard code the PNP ID string used for
your printer product.
qlen - The number of 8k buffers to use per endpoint. The default is 10, you
should tune this for your product. You may also want to tune the
size of each buffer for your product.
USING THE EXAMPLE CODE
======================
This example code talks to stdout, instead of a print engine.
To compile the test code below:
1) save it to a file called prn_example.c
2) compile the code with the follow command:
gcc prn_example.c -o prn_example
To read printer data from the host to stdout:
# prn_example -read_data
To write printer data from a file (data_file) to the host:
# cat data_file | prn_example -write_data
To get the current printer status for the gadget driver:
# prn_example -get_status
Printer status is:
Printer is NOT Selected
Paper is Out
Printer OK
To set printer to Selected/On-line:
# prn_example -selected
To set printer to Not Selected/Off-line:
# prn_example -not_selected
To set paper status to paper out:
# prn_example -paper_out
To set paper status to paper loaded:
# prn_example -paper_loaded
To set error status to printer OK:
# prn_example -no_error
To set error status to ERROR:
# prn_example -error
