Hello,
I installed stable Backfire 10.03.1 on my TL-WR1042ND, everything is working fine, except of my printer. I followed the wiki howto, checked if every USB packages were installed, but the printer does not work. A cat test.txt > /dev/lp0 does nothing, no error, no output, no activity on the printer. Here's my dmesg when plugging in my printer, which is a Brother MFC-250C (it's a USB 2.0 printer):
usb 1-1.3: new full speed USB device using ar71xx-ehci and address 5

Any advice or help would be very appreciated what I should do to test out why it's not working. Thanks a lot.
