[ 7953.117705] usb 1-1.4: new full-speed USB device number 8 using xhci-hcd [ 7953.326192] usblp 1-1.4:1.0: usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 8 if 0 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x0519 pid 0x004D [ 7953.326307] usbcore: registered new interface driver usblp
Verified it does work to print text to /dev/usb/lp0
The CCommSerial class in lib825ev is updated to allow for USB printer support for text printing. CCommSerial
