net.codecrete.usb.UsbTimeoutException: transfer IN on endpoint 2 failed

I was able to connect to a printer USB.

Problem: I can not receive any data.

8 bytes sent.
net.codecrete.usb.UsbTimeoutException: transfer IN on endpoint 2 failed

Any idea?

It is impossible to say what the cause is without seeing your code and having more information about the printer.

Are the 4 sent bytes data your printer understands and can act on? Did you specify a timeout for the receive, or is this a built-in time out?

I can provide more support of you provide the code and the output of enumerate (just the part describing your printer).

Experimenting with an old printer Canon CAPT USB Printer (GDI)
I know that this printer accept 4 byte commands.
I don't know if I sending it right? Or can should I do a brute force attack and see what happens?
In gerneral how can we test devices which do not reply?
(The printer works with correct drivers on an old Windows system via USB port.)

The reason a UsbTimeoutException exception is thrown is probably simply because the printer does not send any data.

If it is supposed to send any data after the bytes it has received depends the implemented protocol (application level above USB protocol layer).

Do you have any documentation that indicates that the printer is supposed to send something?
