Vendor ID is wrong. Some one else had the same problem awhile back, I
e-mailed him my 6200ch and it fixed his problem.. If you want to contact
me, I will send it to you..
<br>
<br> I did have a problem when I updated to Ubuntu 22.04,It turned out I
had the 6200ch in /usr/local/bin..It didn't like it there.. I changed it
to <i class="moz-txt-slash"><span class="moz-txt-tag">/</span>usr/bin<span class="moz-txt-tag">/</span></i> and it worked fine after that..
