Is it possible to connect an old laser printer to a Debian machine with an LPT to USB adapter?

Question

Debian

I remembered the old laser printer HP LaserJet 4L, which was gathering dust in the pantry. Checked - works. Just refilled the cartridge. Now it was necessary to try to connect it to a machine with Debian, and which does not have LPT. There is an adapter. And he is a worker. Tested on a windows machine. I have registered on several debian forums. A couple of days have passed, and I have not received any letters to confirm my address. And without that, they won't let me ask a question there. It's some kind of universal conspiracy. So help out, if anyone knows how to deal with this?

Answer 1

Plug the adapter into Linux, do dmesg and see what happens. If the log shows that the kernel recognized the adapter chip and created a device (something like /dev/lp0), then you're in luck - configure CUPS, etc. If the device is not recognized, then you are out of luck)
