Hi, again !

I still haven't got my USB-switch to work in spite of all the good
advice from this list. I've been doing som googleing on the internet,
and it seems that this switch has been proven to work with SOME linux
versions (as far as I can see; SuSe and Debian). So i thoughed 'why not
Ubuntu?

There is no software involved coz it's plug and pray, so that can't be
the problem. Does anyone have an explanation to why it's transparent to
Windozer but not to Ubuntu. Maby that would give me some ideas on how to
eliminate the problem.

This appears to actually be a USB hub of sorts:
<http://www.aten-usa.com/?product&cat=604&Item=US401&PHPSESSID=be58a4766606fc4f75f404c346ad1dd0>

and is a "legacy" product... meaning ATEN probably no longer support it.

However, in addition to the information requested by Kristian, can you
also please check these:

1. Check your bios settings and see if you have a setting for 'legacy
usb' or similar. The US401 is a USB 1.1 device, and if you are only set
to handle 2.0 it may not get recognized.

2. Check your System|Administration|Printing settings. Your printer
should be on a usb Device URI. Example; my Canon MP750 is on
canon:/dev/usb/lp0.

3. Does your system recognize the printer if it is directly connected to
your system without the US401?

Does it recognize it via the US401 if the Windows computer is physically
disconnected from the US401?
