On my linux box it beeps when I use printread in the start of each
row, not in the end. This was after I read about the beep and loaded
the pcspkr module
$ /sbin/modprobe pcspkr
Another issue is that I often have to unplug the device after I have
read one target before I start on a new target, If not printread will
not recognize the usb path, but I guess this issue is related to the
,impossible for humans to understand, udev system on linux.
