Epson Stylus Color installation problem

2002-11-17 Thread hymette
I did not see any recommendation in the Handbook to set up 
communication mode with usb printers. When I run lptcontrol ... the 
answer is ioctl : Operation  not supported by the device. Is it normal 
? Is there anything to change in the kernel to set the mode to polled or 
interrupt ?

You are connecting to usb!
lptcontrol is for - well for the lpt device - lpt != ulpt.
Does dmesg show succesfull probing of ulpt0?
Do you have usbd_enable=YES in /etc/rc.conf?
Are you using /dev/ulpt0 and -not- /dev/lpt0?
Can you print with echo test  /dev/ulpt0?

First let me tell you that I they gave me the solution, so now my driver 
prints: I had installed ghostscript as a pkg when the ghostscript driver 
(stp stcolor) required by apsfilter was only available through 
compilation from the port. I had no luck with cups, not even the web 
interface wanted to open, nor the commands to answer . I suppose I'll 
have to study how this application works some day (the ghostscript 
Makefile warns: stp is outdated).

yes I'm using ulpt0 - sorry if I don't catch the difference between  I/O 
services!
no, before installing the driver it was not possible to print anything!

Anyway many thanks for your concern.
