This didn't come up in my other searches.
This morning I put in "freebsd hl2040 usb" into my yahoo search and
this came up.
Didn't you get my last message yesterday? It had that very link.
Seems this guy got it to work by using unlpt0 not ulpt0. I had tried
this before and was using the ifhp filter but that didn't work.
The printer is not HP or even PCL, so ifhp is likely not the right
filter.
So I did this with /etc/printcap:
lp|HL2040|Brother HL-2040:\
:lp=/dev/unlpt0:\
:af=/home/bill/hl1250.ppd:\
:if=/usr/local/bin/foomatic-rip:\
:lf=/var/log/lpd/hl2040.log:\
:sh:sd=/var/spool/lpd/laser:
It was probably the unlpt0 device that cured it. Could you verify
whether the plain lpd entry with the unlpt0 device works?
