usb-to-parallel cable unrecognized on jaunty

[reikod]

Hi, I'm having a bit of a problem here. I bought a USB-PARALLEL cable to set up a printer HP 1100. I've installed in HP proliant ML115 the UBUNTU SERVER 9.04 when I plug in my cable dmesg comes up wtth:

[ 107.142522] usb 4-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
[ 107.322521] usb 4-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71

[ 109.080030] hub 4-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 2

on every USB port. Anyways I checked my lsmod and found out that usblp was not loaded so I changed my /etc/modules, rebooted and still the same message. I plugged the cable in another server I have running 8.04 and works perfectly. Sets up the device as /dev/usb/lp0 and I can print fine. I guess this is a jaunty problem, but I'm really frustrated because I've been at this for almost 3 days and can't get it to work.

PLEASE HELP!

Hi, me again. Just wanted to let you know that I have usbcore running on my 8.04 system but not on my 9.04 and that's the only usb module difference in both systems. I tried "sudo apt-get install usbcore" and it says it's already been installed, but when I try "sudo modprobe usbcore" it says there is none. Could this be the problem?, and if so, should I remove usbcore package with apt-get and then re-install it or should I compile usbcore? Although I'm not exactly sure how to compile usbcore modules.

Any help is highly appreciated!
