Installation of an asus usb-n13 dongle

[bilem]

Hi,
I am stuck with the installation of this device. I gave it various trials following this page. It didn’t work. The out of lsusb with the dongle plugged in is

Can anybody help me, please?

That adapter was released with different chipsets, apparently:

ASUS USB-N13 rev B1 (0b05:17ab) • Realtek RTL8192CU
ASUS USB-N13 rev C1 (0b05:18f1) • Realtek RTL8192FU

So, if you have tried installing rtl8192CU and it doesn’t work, try installing
the updated rtl8xxxu-dkms-git ( last update Sept.2023) or maybe
rtl8192fu-dkms-git

pamac build rtl8xxxu-dkms-git

pamac build rtl8192fu-dkms-git

AUR (en) - rtl8xxxu-dkms-git (read commenters’ notes)
AUR (en) - rtl8192fu-dkms-git

Make certain that the appropriate linux kernel headers are installed for your running kernel. Also make sure that dkms is installed and that CUPS services are active .

Printing

Would my printers work on Manjaro OS?

I have tried four other linux distros but I find that none of my printers (Brother HL-5050, Hp Lazerjet 3380, Epson Lq1070 Dot Matrix Printer) work with these linux operating systems. But what about Manjaro? Would my printers work or would I have to switch back to Windows? Or what do I have to do to get the printers to work. Even with a generic driver, the printers do not work at all. The linux distros I have tried are Ubuntu, Ubuntu Budgie, Kubuntu and Zorin,. Does anyone know which linux…

Thanks a lot jrichard326 for your prompt answer and your efficiency. It worked straight forwards after I applied the command

pamac build rtl8xxxu-dkms-git

and rebooted. This is great!

It seems that you mixed up to posts. The second being related to a printing issue - you also mention the CUPS services which are related to the same point. Just to make sure that the other guy will get his answer.

Thank you very much again.
