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 + + + + +EXAMPLE CODE +============ + + +#include <stdio.h> +#include <stdlib.h> +#include <fcntl.h> +#include <linux/poll.h> +#include <sys/ioctl.h> +#include <linux/usb/g_printer.h> + +#define PRINTER_FILE "/dev/g_printer" +#define BUF_SIZE 512 + + +/* + * 'usage()' - Show program usage. + */ + +static void +usage(const char *option) /* I - Option string or NULL */ +{ + if (option) { + fprintf(stderr,"prn_example: Unknown option \"%s\"!\n", + option);
