Re: Trouble with lpr and Brother wireless printer
Boy, I went down the rabbit hole on this one. I'll spare the list all the gory details, but for the sake of posterity I figured I'll try to close the loop on this thread. To make a long story short: After failing to get the printer working with just regular lpr, I tried CUPS to no avail. Along the way, however, I discovered a Perl script in a Linux package available on Brother's website that ostensibly could have served as an input filter for lpr (called, somewhat obviously, `lpdfilter`). After a bit of searching, I found a related thread [1] on a FreeBSD list and made some edits to this script, hoping that it would be the trick. Where I hit a wall was with a binary (also included in the package) called `rawtobr3`, that the Perl script expected. It appears to be proprietary Brother stuff and kept throwing an error, probably because it was built for Linux and not BSD. I did find a GitHub repo via a FreeBSD forum thread [2] that seemed to include _some_ version of this program, but it threw another error and the filter did not work. So, to wrap up: I do not recommend the Brother HLL2350DW for your OpenBSD printing needs. I may end up heeding the suggestions to simply buy a printer that speaks PostScript. Recommendations welcome. - Ben [1] https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2017-July/277994.html [2] https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/port-for-brother-printer-drivers.78393/

It wasn't the last line that potentially lacked "\n\", it was the first one, "#override\n\". I suspect paste actually might already work. Did you try copying from, say, Firefox, and then paste into an xterm? I strongly believe this has nothing to do with the platform. /Alexander

Seen from my perspective, the override that I am using is more convenient on a laptop, but more importantly, expected behavior should be the same regardless of architecture. There shouldn't be different behavior on amd64 architecture compared to i386 architecture.

Trying a different MUA. Not sure where the extra characters that you mention crept in, however they weren't in the .Xdefaults file as far as I could see. I added the extra "\n\" in the last line as suggested, but weirdly this had no effect. Still no copy-paste in i386.

I don't know if it's relevant, but my Xdefaults looks like this XTerm.VT100.translations: #override \n\ Ctrl Alt C:copy-selection(CLIPBOARD) \n\ Ctrl Alt V:insert-selection(CLIPBOARD) \n\ [...other stuff...] In particular, do note the "\n" after #override, which isn't present in your snippet. This works fine for me. Also, vi(1) is showing \xc2\xa0 before your lines, which I don't know if it's product of your MUA or if it's actually part of the file (it's a non-breaking space, aka in XML/HTML), do double-check the whitespaces in there. -Lucas

But hopefully someone figured it out, my ISP is using a link local address that does not follow RFC 4129 which states that there must be 54 0 before the interface id. https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4291.html#section-2.5.6 I asked my ISP to changeg the link local address, but no answer yet, they are "working on it". -- Nicolas Goy Engineer & Developer https://www.kuon.ch https://www.goyman.com
Xterm copy-paste not happening on OpenBSD 7.1 i386.
I have installed OpenBSD 7.1 i386 on my Lenovo T60 and am experiencing a couple of issues. The first is related to the following addition that I made to my .Xdefaults file, which works with OpenBSD 7.1 amd64 installs, but not with the OpenBSD 7.1 i386 install on my Lenovo T60: XTerm*VT100.Translations: #override\ Ctrl Shift C: copy-selection(CLIPBOARD) \n\ Ctrl Shift V: insert-selection(CLIPBOARD) Any ideas how to get copy and paste working in Xterm with an i386 install?
