Hi all, my previous (and still unanswered) message was:
----------------------------------------------- Hi, I just bought a Canon i865 yesterday. This is my first printer install on FreeBSD. I, of course, followed the steps described in the handbook. But when running the really simple 'lptest > /dev/lpt0' command, nothing happened, excepted the flashing light on the printer. The flashing time is depending of the job size, i.e. the light is flashing longer with lptest > /dev/lpt0 than with lptest 20 5 > /dev/lpt0. I decided to go a bit firther and configured /etc/printcap, and activated the lf capability. And running lptest 20 5 | lpr -Pmy-printer gave again the same result. I tried many research on the net but could not find anything useful. I am now installing apsfilter but ask you for some help during the compilation process. Thank you. ----------------------------------------------- So now I installed apsfilter and had to choose a driver. I tested Canon BJC-800 and two or three from the BJC-8200 (said mostly compatible). Ok, I got a printed output, but my printers needs approx. 5 minutes for a simple plain text page. That is quite painfuly slow, isn't it ? I even tried the turboprint driver, but got nothing whith it. So at that point: - I can print - I can go to sleep for a whole week before getting one chapter from the handbook printed. Do you have anything to suggest to me ? -- Regards, Ivan _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
