Re: Epson Stylus Color installation problem

[hymette]

First let me tell you that I they gave me the solution, so now my driver prints: I had installed ghostscript as a pkg when the ghostscript driver (stp stcolor) required by apsfilter was only available through compilation from the port. I had no luck with cups, not even the web interface wanted to open, nor the commands to answer . I suppose I'll have to study how this application works some day (the ghostscript Makefile warns: stp is outdated).

yes I'm using ulpt0 - sorry if I don't catch the difference between I/O services!
no, before installing the driver it was not possible to print anything!

Anyway many thanks for your concern.

I did not see any recommendation in the Handbook to set up communication mode with usb printers. When I run lptcontrol ... the answer is "ioctl : Operation not supported by the device". Is it normal ? Is there anything to change in the kernel to set the mode to polled or interrupt ?

You are connecting to usb!
lptcontrol is for - well for the lpt device - lpt != ulpt.
Does dmesg show succesfull probing of ulpt0?
Do you have usbd_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf?
Are you using /dev/ulpt0 and -not- /dev/lpt0?
Can you print with echo test > /dev/ulpt0?
