https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/hp-photosmart-cameras-under-linux/m-p/2468384#M79907 (This is a repost from the Digital Imaging forum)<BR /><BR />Hello, <BR /><BR />I recently purchased a Photosmart C500 camera, and I would like to get this to work under Linux if possible. From my preliminary research, I understand that this should be accessible via the USB Mass Storage device driver; however, whenever I power on the camera and try setting it to "Play", the USB daemon errors out saying "Unknown USB device detected". <BR /><BR />I have tried this with kernel version 2.2.15-mdk4, and I'm currently in the process of upgrading my system to support the 2.4.0-test kernels to try this out on there. <BR /><BR />Is this just an issue with hacking the existing mass storage driver to accomodate the C500's USB vendor &amp; device ID's, or would a completely new driver need to be written for this? If the case is the former, I can probably work with the source code to get this to work; however, if this is the latter it is most likely beyond my current area of expertise (but it sounds like a fun project to work on). <BR /><BR />Any suggestions, anyone?
