Say something like $ sudo gem install pjl or first examine it on <https://github.com/BertramScharpf/ruby-pjl>. There's a small dependency on a gem "appl" that's also available on RubyGems and on my Github page. However, to the present day I did not manage to make the scanner work on FreeBSD. I plug it into a Linux machine before I scan. Bertram -- Bertram Scharpf Stuttgart, Deutschland/Germany http://www.bertram-scharpf.de
