Thanks for your FreeBSD work I will take a look at your patches and see if we can get them in up-stream. I was hoping somebody would help us on the libusb extensions for FreeBSD. I will be at OSDL Printer Summit next week, so I won't be able to look at your work for 1-2 weeks.
You should be able to run the daemons as root or user. We usually test as root, but I believe Debian and Ubuntu run as user. -dave > -----Original Message----- > From: Anish Mistry [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, April 05, 2006 1:41 AM > To: Cauligi, Raghothama S > Cc: Suffield, David; hplip-devel@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [HPLIP-Devel] FreeBSD Porting > > > On Tuesday 04 April 2006 19:49, Cauligi, Raghothama S wrote: > > Hi Anish, > > Our I/O expert is away on vacation and will be back later > in the week. > > He will respond to you upon his return.
