Try to change the usb mode, there are two modes : one use ulpt and one use unlpt. You can change it under cups (http://localhost:631) If this does not do the trick I don't know.

The same printer prints very well on a older Linux system with a older Gutenprint driver! What am I still missing?

Ok. How did you configure the printer under cups? Did you try the option usb / usb no reset for the usb port used by cups? Also check the cups logs (/var/log/cups/*) HTH, regards. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
