The PCL across the top of one page, does it looks like stairs? I.e. does start the 2nd line where 1st line ends? matthias Ok. Let's see what other information I can provide. I was printing from the gimp. I looked at the printer setup, and it said that it was using lpr. As for the PCL, the first line was pretty short, and the second line did start indented. I don't recall if it started where the first ended, but if not, it was close to that. I couldn't see any further lines, but apparently there were more, as the printer kept spitting out pages...

Re: Canon A620, FreeBSD and gphoto2
Thank you for the suggestions. I did try mounting the camera, but since I
had to use gphoto2 in linux, I figured I'd probably need to do so in freebsd
as well. It gave me the message saying it required a block device.
I do not quite know what you mean about switching my camera to PTP mode. I
did not need to do anything special under Linux, but I will google a bit to
see what I can figure out related to that.
I will look into your suggestions a bit more closely tonight when I get back
home.
If I'm understanding your explanation correctly, the fact that my camera is
showing up as ugen0 instead of usb0 is not a problem, correct?
Thanks!

You should try to mount your camera manually first as

If you can not read the camera only then you should use gphoto2 but
logged as a supper user to avoid
permission problems. If that fails i.e. if you get the message BLOCK
DEVICE RECUIRED you
should try to use gphoto2.
This is step by step for my Sony Cyber-Shot W70
1. Change into PTP mode on camera
2. Go to su mode (this can be avoided but I left it so that my wife
cannot mess with it)
3. gphoto2 --auto-detect will list your camera as Sony DSC-F707V (PTP
mode) usb:
4. gphoto2 --help to get various commands
5 gphoto2 --L will list all the files in numerical order
6 gphoto2 --get-file=NUMBER Range (will get you files in that range)
7 WARNING you may need to issue the commands some time multiple times
because
they fail. The following message is not uncommon
*** Error ***
Note you might not need to go to PTP mode for your particular camera!
If that fail then you can use cheap card reader which are well detected
by FreeBSD.
There is an excellent thread that you can review
http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/showthread.php?t=12015page=7pp=15
maybe somebody left specific details for you camera but I think I gave
you a big push:-)
Please let me know how it goes.

I tried using --debug, but it didn't seem to give me that much more
detail,
at least that I could understand. I also tried specifying the port as
usb
and the camera as Canon PowerShot A620 (PTP mode) (as specified in
gphoto2
--list-cameras). None of this worked. Each gave me the bad
parameters
error, which is slightly frustrating.
I believe that this could be due to the fact that the camera is being
seen
as ugen0 instead of usb. Is there a way to cause it to be seen as usb?
Thanks!
