RE: trouble installing new printer
Hi Ted, don't worry about what your mail sounds, it is ok :) You're right on every points. I do not need to print so much. In fact, I am translating the printing chapter of the handbook to french and I just wanted to test the parallel interface. I bought this printer for 70$ (approx.). In fact, it is just the cost for knowledge :) Yes I should have choose a compatible printer, but it was the cheapest one and I am sure I will have good results. Some website pointed me to the BJC-8200 driver and I got some results with the BJC-800 one. I am not a politic man but I think one company you may consider working for open source is HP, especially when they give the FBSD foundation important gifts. I worked for them and I had to change my job because of their restructuration plan (I was like a collateral damage, not a directly fired guy). Everybody will have his point of view. I promised myself never buy Canon printers again after my i320. But for sure, when time will come for me to have an everyday-printing printer, I will choose it carefuly, and spend as much money as necessary. P.S: a simple PS just about USB printers: the chapter I am translating (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/printing.html) said USB is superior to RS-232 Serial and to Parallel for printing, but it is not as well supported under UNIX® systems. I will test USB connection of course and maybe submit an update for this chapter. -- Regards, Ivan. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

loosing hair inside canon printer...
Hi, Thanks all first, for the help you gave me yesterday. I begin hating Canon. Still nothing printed. I am going to gathered all information about what I did and hope you could give me something :) For the moment, I only want to be able to print the more disgusting raw text, even only hello world!, without the ! if it is too much complicated. But I want it with a line like echo hello world /dev/lpt0 Why do this so simple line not work? I don't know anything about ECP, EPP and Centronics, but I tested all the configuration from BIOS. I have Standard, ECP, EPP and EPP+ECP choices. For each one I have to choose IRQ, DMA and sometimes another one. For now it is set to Standard, IRQ 7 DMA 3 (BIOS default). This said, I have this in dmesg: ppc0: ECP parallel printer port port 0x378-0x37f,0x778-0x77b irq 7 drq 3 flags 0x28 on acpi0 ppc0: Generic chipset (ECP-only) in ECP mode ppc0: FIFO with 16/16/16 bytes threshold ppbus0: Parallel port bus on ppc0 ppc0: Standard parallel printer port port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 flags 0x28 on acpi0 ppc0: Generic chipset (ECP-only) in ECP mode ppbus0: Parallel port bus on ppc0 ppbus0: Parallel port bus on ppc0 ppbus0: IEEE1284 device found /NIBBLE/ECP Probing for PnP devices on ppbus0: ppbus0: Canon i865/1.13 PRINTER BJL,BJRaster3,BSCCe plip0: PLIP network interface on ppbus0 lpt0: Printer on ppbus0 ppi0: Parallel I/O on ppbus0 ppbus0: Parallel port bus on ppc0 ppbus0: IEEE1284 device found /NIBBLE/ECP Probing for PnP devices on ppbus0: ppbus0: Canon i865/1.13 PRINTER BJL,BJRaster3,BSCCe plip0: PLIP network interface on ppbus0 lpt0: Printer on ppbus0 ppi0: Parallel I/O on ppbus0 simple question: how freebsd know about the name of my printer? note the flags 0x28 I had to /boot/device.hints after reading a tutorial.

I don't know acpi either. But may try something like debug.acpi.disabled=isa in /boot/device.hints. Good or bad idea ? Hello. I am Czech. The page talks about using the printer under Linux. Canon provides drivers for it. I don't know if they can be used because I don't know the CUPS much. If the driver/filter program is (can be) invoked manually, you could probably use it with FreeBSD native CUPS. If not you can possibly run Linux CUPS and print to it even from FreeBSD native applications. If the program directly communicates with the printer you may be out of luck because you don't run Linux kernel and the emulation may not be complete in these low-level areas. I didn't see your original post but printing issue can not be caused by ACPI unless the interface for printing doesn't work at all. If for example you use USB connection to the printer and something else USB works, than ACPI can't be at fault. HTH Michal Hi Michal, Definetely this ML should be read at least by czech people. Others are welcome for sure. Thanks a million for your translation and re-explanation. I am going to test in that way tomorrow. Of course, I still do not understand why I cannot print directly with /dev/lpt0. About acpi, I told that because I have ppc0: Standard parallel printer port port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on acpi0 in dmesg and all the examples I saw had isa instead of acpi. Any idea? Is it normal?

Re: Setting up lpd on *BSD

I tried to change the mode with lptcontrol -p -d /dev/lpt0 but that is even worth because I have no more output at all! Yes - I was afraid to use things like that myself. I am a bit lost between all the confguration files now. CUPS, apsfilter and friends is too much in one day :) CUPS is a completely different print system than the native FreeBSD lpd. apsfilter does not use *.ppd files. These *.ppd files are required by your Canon printer. This is also the probable reason why lptest would not print. Can you tell me where to install an especially downloaded ppd file? To use lpd do the following. I have not set it up on FreeBSD yet so this may not be entirely accurate. 1) Go to Linux Printing http://www.linuxprinting.org/printer_list.cgi and see if your printer is supported. I think your Canon printer is not well supported as I did not find a listing there. Here is the site for Canon drivers: ftp://download.canon.jp/pub/driver/bj/ However I did not see anything that may be of use to you. 2) You now have to pick a *ppd (Postscript Printer Definition) file and a driver that will work with your Canon bubble jet. I don't know what it would be for the Canon i865. I Googled for quite a while trying to find a driver and *.ppd file for the i865 printer. For my HP printer, the driver would be /usr/pkgsrc/print/hpijs (I looked at the FreeBSD ports and their hpijs depends on CUPS, so I don't know how to set up lpd on FreeBSD). 3) Create an /etc/printcap file that looks something like this: # $NetBSD: printcap,v 1.11 2002/07/01 23:10:19 hubertf Exp $ # from: @(#)printcap 8.1 (Berkeley) 6/9/93 lp|HP3740|HP Local Printer :\ :sh:lp=/dev/ulpt0:af=/usr/pkg/etc/HP-DeskJet_3740-hpijs.ppd:\ :if=/usr/pkg/bin/foomatic-rip:\ :sd=/var/spool/output/lpd/lp:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\ :mx#0:sh: You would replace HP-DeskJet_3740-hpijs.ppd with a Canon ppd. 4) Add your full hostname to /etc/hosts.lpd. See HOSTS.LPD(5) in the FreeBSD man pages. 5) I think you have to add lpd=YES in rc.conf, for FreeBSD. Look in /etc/defaults/rc.conf to see what it should be. 6) Add the following directories to /var/spool/output/lpd: # mkdir /var/spool/output/lpd/lp # mkdir /var/spool/output/lpd/$PRINTER_NAME_THAT_IS_IN_PRINTCAP in my case this would be # mkdir /var/spool/output/lpd/HP3740 7) Finally, as root, do: # lpc stop all # lpc start all Then do: # lpc status all and you should see something like this: lp: queuing is enabled printing is enabled no entries printer idle 8) Now try and print. Do something like this: # lpr /root/.profile and if all goes well you should get a printout. If not then do: # lpq and see the job number of your print job. Now my printer's led is flashing permanently, but nothing else happenned. I never thank that printing would be that much exciting and full of suspense :) It's a real pain.

trouble installing new printer
Hi all, my previous (and still unanswered) message was: --- Hi, I just bought a Canon i865 yesterday. This is my first printer install on FreeBSD. I, of course, followed the steps described in the handbook. But when running the really simple 'lptest /dev/lpt0' command, nothing happened, excepted the flashing light on the printer. The flashing time is depending of the job size, i.e. the light is flashing longer with lptest /dev/lpt0 than with lptest 20 5 /dev/lpt0. I decided to go a bit firther and configured /etc/printcap, and activated the lf capability. And running lptest 20 5 | lpr -Pmy-printer gave again the same result. I tried many research on the net but could not find anything useful. I am now installing apsfilter but ask you for some help during the compilation process. Thank you. --- So now I installed apsfilter and had to choose a driver. I tested Canon BJC-800 and two or three from the BJC-8200 (said mostly compatible).

Re: looking for cd2mp3
Here is the link you need. I also sent you a copy of the required file by e-mail.

I assume you've googled for it but come up empty, as I did. Is there something else that might do what you want? Perhaps cdda2wav plus lame?

Information about handbook translation
Hi, I just subscribed to that list so nice to meet you :) I am quite new to the FreeBSD world but I would like to help the community by doing the only thing I think I am capable of: translating. My language is french so please contact me and give me some pages to translate. I feel too lazy for now, I should work :) See ya, Ivan. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Xorg trouble with nvidia graphic card
First, sorry about asking two questions at the same time. I am using freeBSD 6.0 under Gnome 2.10 and I am having trouble with display resolution. I got the same issue under many Linux distributions I tried last month (including FC4, Debian an Suse 10.0). The issue is that display is like full of blur in 1280x1024 resolution but perfect in 1024x768. I tried to update the nvidia driver under Linux and finally got a good display after some more changes. I don't know how to reproduce this so I cannot work at 1280x1024. I am not sure to be clear enough. Do not hesitate to ask me more informations.

Re: Xorg trouble with nvidia graphic card
Hi Lowell, No more problem. As I am testing many OS I spent my afternoon reinstalling FreeBSD 6.0 :) I upgraded all my ports/sources and installed the latest nvidia driver (7676). I still don't know why but everything is fine now [I'm afraid I should have made a mistake (sic)] However, thanks for your answer. Bye, Ivan.

If you don't need acceleration, you could try the regular open-source driver (nv instead of nvidia) and probably get good results. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
