#### Printer to CDC This example demonstrates a USB composite device with a Printer class interface and a CDC serial interface. Data flows bidirectionally between the two: - Data sent to the Printer (from host) is forwarded to the CDC serial port - Data sent to the CDC serial port (from host) is forwarded to the Printer IN endpoint This is useful for debugging printer class communication or as a reference for implementing printer class devices. #### USB Interfaces | Interface | Class | Description | |-----------|-------|-------------| | 0 | CDC ACM | Virtual serial port | | 2 | Printer | USB Printer (bidirectional, protocol 2) | #### How to Test The device exposes two endpoints on the host: - `/dev/ttyACM0` (CDC serial port) - `/dev/usb/lp0` (USB printer) Note: the actual device numbers may vary depending on your system. **Prerequisites (Linux):** ```bash # Load the USB printer kernel module if not already loaded sudo modprobe usblp # Check devices exist ls /dev/ttyACM* /dev/usb/lp* ``` **Test Printer to CDC (host writes to printer, reads from CDC):** ```bash # Terminal 1: read from CDC cat /dev/ttyACM0 # Terminal 2: write to printer echo "hello from printer" > /dev/usb/lp0 # "hello from printer" appears in Terminal 1 ``` **Test CDC to Printer (host writes to CDC, reads from printer):** ```bash # Terminal 1: read from printer IN endpoint cat /dev/usb/lp0 # Terminal 2: write to CDC echo "hello from cdc" > /dev/ttyACM0 # "hello from cdc" appears in Terminal 1 ``` **Interactive bidirectional test:** ```bash # Terminal 1: open CDC serial port minicom -D /dev/ttyACM0 # Terminal 2: send to printer echo "tinyusb print example" > /dev/usb/lp0 # Text appears in minicom. Type in minicom to send data back through printer TX. ``` #### IEEE 1284 Device ID The device responds to GET_DEVICE_ID requests with: ``` MFG:TinyUSB;MDL:Printer to CDC;CMD:PS;CLS:PRINTER; ``` Verify with: ```bash cat /sys/class/usbmisc/lp0/device/ieee1284_id ```
