by default, you have to login as a member of the root group from
localhost. if you want to change this, see the
section of ${SYSCONDFIR}/cups/cupsd.conf.

the PPD files that come with CUPS do require ESP ghostscript
but you don't need to use them. these are generic PPD files
anyway. a printer-specific PPD file will probably give you
better printing results. you can get a PPD file from
linuxprinting.org or install the foomatic database and engine
and generate a PPD file locally. ports for the foomatic database
and engine can be found here:
http://www.jakemsr.com/openbsd/foomatic-ports.html
instructions for generating a printer-specific PPD file with these
ports can be found here: http://www.jakemsr.com/openbsd/foomatic.html
(just ignore the directions on that page for lpd for the time being.
you use the same PPD file for CUPS or lpd. I'll try to add some
directions for CUPS in the near future.)
copy the PPD file to ${PREFIX}/share/cups/model/.
start (or restart) cupsd.
reconfigure ("Manage Printers" -> "Modify Printer" through the web
interface) the printer to use the new PPD.
that's it.

CUPS does _not_ require ESP ghostscript! yes, the few PPD files that come with CUPS reference pstoraster from ESP ghostscript ... but you don't need to use them. do you really think I would make those ports and say they work with CUPS if they didn't? -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Not really. I want to use cups for network printing and it requires esp ghostscript for which there is no port. Also, gutenprint provides newer drivers than gimp-print.

Re: Setting up printer with cups Epson Stylus Photo 820
I finally got it working. Here are the steps, OpenBSD 3.8, cups-1.1.23p2, ESP Ghostscript 7.07.1 and gutenprint-5.0.0-rc1 I installed the above in that order. Cups was a pkg and the other two were source. To install ghostscript I unpacked jpegsrc.v6b in the root directory. Then ./configure --with-cups --without-omni gmake gmake install The compile only works with gmake. For gutenprint ./configure --without-gimp --with-cups --disable-translated-cups-ppds gmake gmake install In configuring the printer with cups I set it up as a parallel polled printer (Epson) I first tested with lptest > /dev/ulpt0 with the BSD print system and could not print. Switching to a parallel cable solved that. Cheers, Jeff On 9/26/05, Theo de Raadt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Someone is telling you to use a non-standard FreeBSD extension. That's > hogwash.

Re: Setting up printer with cups Epson Stylus Photo 820
Someone is telling you to use a non-standard FreeBSD extension. That's hogwash. I suggest you advice them that their FAQ has an error. That is not standard to any other system. And even then, it is even more wrong. > I've since found a link under the Gimp-Print FAQ that talks about the > difficulty of printing to Epson Stylus printers in Free, Net and OpenBSD. > > http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/p_FAQ_OS_X.php3#BSD > > The short of it is that the BSD driver resets the printer losing sync.

Re: Setting up printer with cups Epson Stylus Photo 820
I've since found a link under the Gimp-Print FAQ that talks about the difficulty of printing to Epson Stylus printers in Free, Net and OpenBSD. http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/p_FAQ_OS_X.php3#BSD The short of it is that the BSD driver resets the printer losing sync. The fix is to use unlpt0 instead of ulpt0 and it tells how to create the device. However the command mknod unlpt0 c 113 64 root wheel gives usage: mknod... What is the correct command and is there anything else I would need to do after this to get CUPS to recognize the printer at that device? Thanks.
Re: Setting up printer with cups Epson Stylus Photo 820
I'm wondering if I might need ESP GS installed. I have downloaded it and it has asked for JPEG so I downloaded that into the espgs folder. I am able to configure fine. When I try to make it shows an error code 1 at line 604 of contrib.mak. That line shows something about gomni so I have downloaded Omni into the espgs folder. When I unpack it the folder is called VendorSupported. I still get the error above with this downloaded. Any ideas? Thank you. Jeff Hello, I am trying to get my printer to work with OpenBSD. I am running 3.7 STABLE. I have installed cups 1.1.23p2 from the pkg directory, compiled and installed the latest gimp-print from sourceforge and installed ghostscript 7.05p5. The computer recognizes the printer as ulpt0. I have started the cupsd from which I get a few errors different each time. One is that /dev/lpt0 is out of paper another is Child exited with status 48! and a third which I escapes me at this time. After starting the cupsd there is a long pause followed by some noise from the printer and then the error. I have set up the printer via localhost:631. I have added my printer as device at usb:/dev/ulpt0 and selected a Gimp-Print driver for Epson Stylus Photo 820, of which there are list of many for my printer all the same name. When I try to configure the printer via localhost:631 I get error server-error-internal-error. I have tried printing a test page which results in Test Page sent; Job ID is X. However, when I look at jobs they all show cancelled. This also happens when I print at the console. /var/log/cups/error_log shows: Job 21 queued on 'Epson' by 'root'. Unable to convert file 0 to printable form for job 21! Hint: Do you have ESP Ghostscript installed? Hint: Try setting the LogLevel to "debug". I have also tried downloading the source for the latest ESP Ghostscript and compiling it with an error code at the end of make. Am I using the wrong versions of software together? or what?
