Petty quibble: I suspect that you mean ``there is no support for FreeBSD in EMC Networker'' rather than the other way round. Picking a backup solution that can't back up some of your servers, and opting to fix the problem by getting rid of the servers, seems to me to be doing things the wrong way round - irrespective of which OS you're forcing yourself to get rid of. Of course, EMC Networker may be so much better than any other backup solution as to justify the work involved in moving working services to a different platform - I don't know Networker so I can't really comment, although I agree with most of what you said about making sure you pick a platform which supports what you're trying to do. I say most because my own feeling as a sysadmin is that you must have a very good reason to run more than the bare minimum range of operating systems you can - which is an argument for moving away from some platforms if you're already running several. I am in the process of moving from multiple platforms, ranging from Windows NT4, through e-smith (server-in-a-box based on Red Hat), Debian, and FreeBSD, from 4.8 up to date. We are aiming to end up with a bunch of FreeBSD boxes, all using a standard build from a central buildserver, plus one or two boxes running Windows Server 2003 supporting users, who are all running Windows desktops and applications, including apps which run on the server, with clients connecting over the network. It's taken a while but every time we get rid of an old box my workload in supporting the rest of the system drops a little. Note: I'm not saying everyone should standardise on FreeBSD - that's just what I'm most familiar with at the moment, and when I started to move things round we had more FreeBSD servers than anything else, so it made sense to pick that and bring the rest into line, where we were able to, especially because the other OSes were mainly running on hardware which was due for replacement soon anyway, so that the migration could be seen as being in the ordinary course of maintenance and not extra load on busy systems staff. (Sorry: when I realised I'd started my reply with a few lines which by accident were tapering off at the ends I couldn't resist trying to see how long I could keep it up. It's foolish, I know, but it is a fun exercise in picking your words carefully and yet still trying to make sense.

Do we have any such plugin support, or are printers still roll-your-own? [FWIW, I can't seem to get CUPS working... altho it maay be my misssing /dev/lpt0.] Why don't you check http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting for the most comprehensive information available. Just couple a comments. I would keep native LPD spooling system instead installing CUPS unless you need to use something like HPLIP drivers. You do not need CUPS for the hplip drivers, you can use lpd if you want. To be perfectly clear on this, all that CUPS is, is 4 things: Spool manager - LPD does this Speaks IPP protocol - LPD also does this except it speaks LPR protocol Easy user interface for the options needed by some of the more complex filters. - lpd does NOT do this BUT, you can do it by writing your own filter script and coding the options you want into it. Note that most options are set once and forget, so CUPS really doesen't add much here. CUPS uses Postscript PPD files to automagically generate the webpage the user fills out to select these options. web-interface for job mangement - well who needs this for a personal printer attached to a workstation? The reason CUPS is used so much is that it dummifies the chain of hooking together programs into a black box. So, people who don't understand what is going on can setup a printer by clicking buttons. That is fine if your printer model is supported. But if it doesen't work or if the model is a new one that the cups people haven't quite yet got around to testing with, or nobody has written a .PPD file for it, you have to understand what is going on then. I've posted the following before, but here's the instructions I use for setting up my C84 without CUPS, so you can see how this kind of thing works. They are just a bit old but still work if you change the version #s. The setup uses the IJS output from Ghostscript and feeds it into gimpprint. The HPLIP scheme works exactly the same way except that instead of gimpprint, you use the hpijs driver along with the required options: 1) setup print queue Add the following to the end of /etc/printcap: lp-epson|Epson C84 Color printer:\ :sh:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/output/lp-epson:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:mx=0:\ :of=/usr/local/bin/epsonfilter:rw: lp-epson-raw|Epson C84 Color Printer - raw for Windows systems:\ :sh:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/output/lp-epson-raw:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\ :mx#0:rw: Create the print queues: cd /var/spool/output mkdir lp-epson mkdir lp-epson-raw Add in access for the local systems cat /etc/hosts.lpd # $FreeBSD: src/etc/hosts.lpd,v 1.4 1999/08/27 23:23:42 peter Exp $ # # See lpd(8) #machine.domain tedwin2k.freebsd-corp-net-guide.com 192.168.1.60 tedsdesk.ipinc.net ip-port-rtr1.ipinc.net sunrise.ipinc.net nat-rtr# Run some test prints through the queues: cd /etc ls -l | lpr -P lp-text Send a test print page from the Windows 2K workstation via lpr to the print queue on the BSD box (do a chmod 664 on the lock file in the lp-epson-raw queue, since network LPR doesen't set the mask up properly per submitted bug) 2) Install the tools to image a printjob for the Epson, as follows: cd /usr/ports/print/gimp-print make WITHOUT_CUPS=yes cd work/gimp-print-4.2.7/src/escputil ./escputil -i -u -r /dev/lpt0 (checks ink levels) ./escputil -n -u -r /dev/lpt0 (prints nozzle alignment) (try some other commands to see if the level of support is better) cd ../../../../ make WITHOUT_CUPS=yes install cd ../ghostscript-gnu make install Deselect all the printers, leave in stp and ijs driver, as well as all the X-windows drivers and the jpg and other image drivers. test the ghostscript install: cd /root man -t which which.ps gs -dBATCH -sDEVICE=jpeg -sOutputFile=test.jpg which.ps open test.jpg in a browser and see if the page is there Now test gimpprint and ghostscript: first manually with the command, gs -sDEVICE=ijs -sIjsServer=/usr/local/bin/ijsgimpprint -sDeviceManufacturer =EPSON -sDeviceModel=escp2-c84 -sIjsParams=Quality=720x360sw,InkType=CMYK ,MediaType=Plain -dIjsUseOutputFD -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sOutputFile=test.out /usr/local/share/ghostscript/7.07/examples/colorcir.ps lpr -P lp-epson-raw test.out Create the file

[OT] PC starter
Automatically turn on your PC. It's a common problem, when using desktop hardware to run a server: after a power failure, the machine needs human action to restart. High-end desktops and server hardware often have a BIOS setting to automatically start when power comes back. Using a low-end, older PC hardware to run some low demanding services is very tempting, but what to do when the UPS runs out of battery, or when there are no UPS at all (for security reason, like a system that controls a door, it may be prefered to avoid using a UPS).

The cheapest color-capable networked PostScript printer I've found so far is the Xerox 6130N, for which I've been quoted $375 including $380 worth of cartridges (C, M, Y, K @ $95 each) -- Xerox seems to have some promotional pricing this month. IIRC the color cartridges are rated 1900 sheets and the black 2500. This one is also supposed to handle lpr natively.

Great; another printer heard about.SO far the Brother at = $200 with 7000 pages at a $30 cartridge sounds better.I've done mostly the academic, plain bw over the years. Hm, well, then I have had some papers returned with feedback marked in blue in OOo. There is a fancy Brother color printer [on sale] at Costco for like $700. (!) After my heart was shocked back to life, I double-checked. I can't imagine what it does for 700 clams, but don't have room for it here anyway. Can you use any paper with the laser printers, or does it have to meet a certain spec? Yes it has to meet a certain spec However, that spec is so widely known and has been so widely known for something like the last 15 years that any paper you buy today will meet it.You literally now would have to special-order copy paper that -wouldn't- meet spec in a laser printer.

Because portmaster checks the status of your ports installation for sanity.

True, but your portstree is now 'broken', because support for how it used to
work is being phased out, like the whole X11BASE thing. I think if you
upgrade anything that depends on xorg, you'll find dependencies being pulled
in that are part of the modular xorg, unless you really know what you're

What the above did is make sure you have no non-existing modules loading and

dumps core.
Some modules depend on eachother and one needs to be loaded before the other
or it goes to hell. Nothing else you can do then figure out the correct
order. Experience teaches spl, session and mysqli are common culprits.
spl before sqlite before pdo_sqlite before session before mysqli before

While I was able to install PHP 5 into a separate location than PHP 4 (both from ports), See? There's a reason ports use CONFLICTS: the ports are conflicting. I don't know why people advise using prefixes on conflicting ports - it's not a good thing. Actually, it's a bad thing. A really bad thing. This is what jails are for. If the maintainer of the php ports would support having both 4 and 5 installed, he could do it by renaming the CLI binary to php4 and php5 respectively and in the process break many other ports depending on the fact that the cli is called 'php' and more importantly that the pecl-* ports depend on phpize giving them the right information. In short: you'll create a mess. Here's what you do: * Add an IP alias to your network card * Find some free space on the disk * read the instructions in jail(8) * and install php5 (or php4) in the jail. Now you'll have cleanly seperated php installations and no more prefixing, worries about dependencies etc etc. Costs: 400-500M extra diskspace and an alias IP, 2-3 hours of work including the build of dependencies. Gains: too many to mention. -- Mel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

LOCALBASE is /usr/local unless you've changed it (but then you would already

nothing to do with X11.
It needs it because there are ports in the x11/xorg system that are
dependencies for ports that have nothing to do with a GUI. Libraries are
frequently used to incorporate certain functionalities without having to
reinvent an already well vetted wheel.
In case it matters, I have not upgraded to the modular Xorg, and
would prefer not to go through all that. It ain't broke ...
You're going to regret that decision more and more over time. In fact, if you
want to stay with the old system, you're probably going to need to put
USE_NONDEFAULT_X11BASE?=/usr/X11R6 in your make.conf file to keep your ports
from breaking in interesting ways.
All the ports are now being built with the assumption that X11BASE==LOCALBASE.

AFAIK it just depends of software installed, and it can be both.. ___ FreeBSD as a desktop compared to other OS's? I think there are technical, community and attitude differences which prevent FreeBSD from competing as a desktop. There is at least very strong consensus in the OpenBSD community and much less in FreeBSD community that the systems are developed by developers for the developer and alike on the base of the technical merit not cheap tricks. I am as a non-developer just getting a free ride. FreeBSD is a free system and doesn't have customers to please. It is developed by the people in their spare time to the best possible for their needs. (They are not necessary the same as yours and mine) Those Desktop users that you want to attract would not benefit from FreeBSD nor FreeBSD community would benefit from them. I wasn't trying to attract users or change anything, just point out that in the context of FreeBSD the difference is not just the different software. It's the difference between what interests the FreeBSD developers and what the average computer user expects. The OP should be aware of this aspect of FreeBSD. Someone else suggested that 'workstation' would be a better word than 'desktop' for FreeBSD. Support for USB devices seems better in Linux too. The number of times people would come in and say why don't you use Linux and I would say FreeBSD is better and they would say well plug this USB ethernet adapter in and see if it works then, and it wouldn't. If you knew how to alter permissions and do auto-mount you would see too. No this is driver support. But yes if it was usb pen drive then devfs.rules, automounter, idesk etc does it. If you want to do video editing on FreeBSD you can't use the main free software application, Cinelerra. It's not ported to FreeBSD and from what I've read it won't be - something to do with ALSA drivers I believe. Please, do not even go there. ALSA vs OSS story is one of the darkest chapters in the Linux development. Read this before we go any further http://4front-tech.com/hannublog/?p=5 Also multimedia functionality generally is far more developed on Mac and windows. yes. So what? OS X is life style operating system. My friends in Apple are making living by pleasing their customers. That is exactly it - it seems FreeBSD people are not generally interested in multimedia, whereas many 'general public' are. Which is not a complaint, just to let the OP know what to expect from a FreeBSD desktop. I would be really interested to know how the FreeBSD kernel compares to the Linux realtime kernel. Are there any recent benchmarks? Something like Kris Kennaway's fantastic mySQL benchmarks presentation? What is your point? Your desktop computer is faster than mine? That is irrelevant for the discussion about FreeBSD on the desktop. Realtime refers to the ability of the computer to present an audio stream and a video stream synchronised in real time and apparently depends on how the kernel does processing, not just how fast your or my computer works. It's very relevant to people who want to work with music or video. By the way, I proudly say as mostly OpenBSD user that OpenBSD scales the worst out of all *nix operating systems. :) I'm sure none of these things are impossible, simply I get the impression they are not very interesting to the people who decide the direction of FreeBSD. There are other differences which I think come down to the overall size of the development community. I'm sure FreeBSD has all the components to allow a nice icon and directory window appear automagically on the desktop when you plug your removeable drive or camera in. It does on mine. You have to know how to configure the damn thing. Yeah. I personally can't be bothered but many people would be completely lost if it didn't. And the size of the development community in Linux and probably Microsoft and Apple allows that and all the other configuration to be done for you. I guess there must be some sort of similarity between the number of people doing Debian development and the number of people doing FreeBSD development. The difference with Linux is that there are hundreds of other dev communities taking Debian or whatever as a starting point and configuring it for different out-of-the-box use. Hence ubuntu and all the others. Hence the PC-BSD, DekstopBSD, TrueBSD, RuFreeSBIE, MidnightBSD and all the others. There are in total over 40 distros based on FreeBSD. At least 10 of them that I know of have as a stated goal to be customized easy to use FreeBSD installation on the Desktop. There are comparatively very few desktop development projects that take FreeBSD as a starting point. With all due
sbc: isa plug-n-play
I have an older hardware system with a newer OS on it :-) It's i386 7.0-RC1 on 440BX / Pentium III. I have the following soundcard in ISA slot on the system: sbc0: Creative SB AWE64 Gold at port 0x220-0x22f,0x330-0x331,0x388-0x38b irq 5 drq 1,5 pnpid CTL00b2 on isa0 sbc0: [GIANT-LOCKED] sbc0: [ITHREAD] pcm0: SB16 DSP 4.16 on sbc0 I believe that the soundcard supports ISA Plug-n-Play. Everything works great. But recently I had an itch to go trough BIOS settings. I spotted one named Plug-n-Play OS and it was set to disabled. I thought what the heck FreeBSD is a Plug-n-Play OS for a long time, so flipped it to enabled. After that no joy, the soundcard stopped to work. It was detected as before, there is no difference in dmesg whatsoever, but it did not generate any interrupts (verified with vmstat -i). And any playback attempt resulted in zero sound and the following message on console: pcm0:virtual:dsp0.vp0: play interrupt timeout, channel dead So I disabled the option again and everything is fine. Practical conclusion: don't do it. Question of curiosity: what is it that BIOS can do with this card that our driver can not ? -- Andriy Gapon ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Petty quibble: I suspect that you mean ``there is no support for FreeBSD in EMC Networker'' rather than the other way round. Picking a backup solution that can't back up some of your servers, and opting to fix the problem by getting rid of the servers, seems to me to be doing things the wrong way round - irrespective of which OS you're forcing yourself to get rid of. Of course, EMC Networker may be so much better than any other backup solution as to justify the work involved in moving working services to a different platform - I don't know Networker so I can't really comment, although I agree with most of what you said about making sure you pick a platform which supports what you're trying to do. I say most because my own feeling as a sysadmin is that you must have a very good reason to run more than the bare minimum range of operating systems you can - which is an argument for moving away from some platforms if you're already running several. I am in the process of moving from multiple platforms, ranging from Windows NT4, through e-smith (server-in-a-box based on Red Hat), Debian, and FreeBSD, from 4.8 up to date. We are aiming to end up with a bunch of FreeBSD boxes, all using a standard build from a central buildserver, plus one or two boxes running Windows Server 2003 supporting users, who are all running Windows desktops and applications, including apps which run on the server, with clients connecting over the network. It's taken a while but every time we get rid of an old box my workload in supporting the rest of the system drops a little. Note: I'm not saying everyone should standardise on FreeBSD - that's just what I'm most familiar with at the moment, and when I started to move things round we had more FreeBSD servers than anything else, so it made sense to pick that and bring the rest into line, where we were able to, especially because the other OSes were mainly running on hardware which was due for replacement soon anyway, so that the migration could be seen as being in the ordinary course of maintenance and not extra load on busy systems staff.

The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF form. Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to download the entire book. See http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/ for more information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing? Please let me know: I'm no longer constantly updating it, but I may be able to help Greg ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2005/08/10 02:21:44 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for [EMAIL PROTECTED]). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

It you are going to install from CD, then you can download the ISO[s] using anonymous ftp from ftp.freebsd.org You will need to fish around (cd) in their directories a bit to find the ISOs, but what you want is disc1 for version 6.3. Download it to a machine with a CD burner. Then burn the image as it is. Don't try to convert it to an ISO. It is already an ISO. If you do not have network access, then you will need to download the first two CD ISOs and use them. Plug in the CD and boot it and the adventure begins. If you must boot from floppies, then download the two floppy images and write them to formatted floppies as per the handbook instructions. Boot them and go from there.

see if it helps?
# cp /usr/local/etc/php/extensions.ini{,.bak}
# cd /usr/local/lib/php/20060613
# lorder *.so | tsort | tail -r | sed -e 's/^/extension=/'

Oh, and yes, you do need the php5-spl module to be installed.

Re: Mounting FS read-only for specific user (or root)

Yes, exactly. Users need to be able to see their own backups, and nobody else's. Isn't this what acl's are for? See setfacl(8). I haven't looked into it in great detail but seems to me that if you make a subdir owned by the user for each backup root for that user and set the acl to only be accessible by user, it should work. After playing around with this for a bit, I took Erik's suggestion of mounting the backup directory rw in a root-specific area. I didn't think it would work, but my understanding of the permission structure in UNIX is flawed, and it does work :) The setup, for those interested, is as follows: disk2 mounted read-write in /root/.backup /root/.backup mounted using nullfs read-only in /backups drwx-- root wheel /root drwxr-xr-x root wheel /root/.backup drwxr-xr-x root wheel /backups This way, the permissions on /root prevents normal users from writing to the backup mount underneath it, even though they may own files and have write permissions on those files. The permissions of the mount point allow users to view the contents and restore files, but not write to it because the nullfs mount (/backups) is read-only. General users are unable to write to the read-write mount point (/root/.backup) because the permission of the parent directory (/root) is 700. This allows the backup process to write to the backup filesystem, yet still prevents normal users from writing to it. I think this setup could be improved as I'm simply relying on file permissions to keep the backup filesystem read-only for normal users. The problem is not having the ability to mount a filesystem read-write for a specific user -- regardless of the permissions of files on that filesystem. Thanks Erik and Mel for the help with this!

FreeBSD diskless workstation and over the network installation via PXE
Hello, Am new to FreeBSD and relatively new to linux; I have a CentOS 5.1 PXE/tftpd/dhcpd server; I'd like it to be the build/PXE server where a bunch of 1U clients could PXE boot and run: 1. diskless over NFS-Root In googling, seems like there is a clone script that preps and lets you generate a root file system structure and let your clients boot off the network. I checked the Free BSD Handbook (Chapter 29) where extensive documentation on setup is outlined, but it assumes that the PXE/TFTP/NFS/DHCPd servers are FreeBSD; mine is a CentOS; just want to support diskless PXE boot for my clients. Section 29.7.2.9.2 9Usning a Non-FreeBSD server - just indicates that do a tar/cpio of root; but ensure that special files in /dev are taken care of ... my question - - does anyone have this type of scenario setup? if so, can you please share with me your insights/cheat-sheet-how to? - i'd be interested in understanding the setup of how you handled copying the /dev files into your exported ROOT directorty ...

Picking a backup solution that can't back up some of your servers, and opting to fix the problem by getting rid of the servers, seems to me to be doing things the wrong way round - irrespective of which OS you're forcing yourself to get rid of. Well, we are not going to ditch the Windows Servers, nor run 2 backup solutions, so FreeBSD must go. We do have the client that someone made for Legato 6.0 some time ago and we are using that. A bug report appeared that the default configure for the client was insecure. It wasn't fixed after a year and the FBSD resolution was to drop the client from FBSD packages. Legato didn't make that FBSD legato 6.0 client package. Someone clever from within the FreeBSD developers made it based on how the package for Linux worked. From the pattern that followed, it seems that developer or contributor didn't maintain it afterward. So from our perspective, FreeBSD dropped something we have relied on to make FreeBSD doable in our server room. I know, there are always people who will say: you can't complain, you go fix it, but I'm sorry I'm not able to spend the time on it.

I'd like to hang the printer off my FBSD box; my Ubuntu platform is probably too far away. At least 3 meters. A few months ago I got a Samsung ML-2571N for well under $100 at Fry's. It is small, light, fast; has a built-in 10/100 network port, handles PostScript, and speaks native lpr What is lpr? Usually printers speak Post Script or PCL printer command language in which case you need a driver. LPD, LPRng, and CUPS are different spooling systems. Did you attach the printer to a computer or is acting as a free standing printer server. There is a lpr driver by Brother for Linux. Brother and Canon have binary blob drivers. Did you use that driver may be? Does anyone know if those binary blobs can be useful for anything on FreeBSD. They appear to be wrappers for standard Ghost Script drivers. They aren't wrappers. The binary drivers generally take the intermediate output from the Ghostscript ijs driver and convert it into whatever the printer understands. If the binary driver is statically built then it likely can be run by the linuxulator under FreeBSD. Most of the time the binary drivers are wrapped in an install script that sets all this up. I will actually try to do that as soon as I get my hands on one of those Brother printers and see if I can get it to work on FreeBSD and OpenBSD. Of course, I will definitely try to set up my wife's Photosmart C5250 with only using LPD:-) Thanks one more time Tad! Predrag Ted, Would you be so kind to comment on something. According to HPLIP web-site in order to unlock the FULL functionality of all-in-one device one has to use CUPS? quote: *Question: How are HPLIP and HPIJS related?* Answer: HPIJS is a subcomponent of HPLIP. HPIJS provides basic printing support for non-postscript printers. HPIJS can operate in any spooler environment (including no spooler). HPIJS provides no I/O. HPLIP provides I/O for bi-directional communication, scanning, photo card access, and toolbox functionality. HPLIP requires the CUPS spooler. end of quote. Call me stupid but I do not understand the above. I have used probably as you and many other people HPIJS with LPD. HPIJS are included in HPLIP so I would guess that I could use even the same printcap file with HPLIP and it should work. If I want to unlock scanning I need the hpaio backhands for SANE and they are included in HPLIP. Now why the hack do we need the CUPS.
