Hi,
I'm working on a driver for a USB to serial device. I based my work on
the AppleCDC sample code.
Everything works great so far. Now I'm trying to print to a serial
printer using the cups & gimp printing framework.
I'm select my serial port in the Advanced Device List of the Printer
Setup Utility.
For some strange reason the device URI is fax://dev/myserial.
When doing the same on a machine with a build in serial port I get
serial://dev/modem.
When I manually change the URI to serial I get a permission denied
error when the port gets be opened.
Here are my questions:
1) What do I need to do to get my device to identified as a serial
instead of a fax device. What kind of call is the cups driver making to
the device to determine this?
2) Any idea why I can not simply change the fax:// URI to serial://?
Thanks,
Martin
