You can always check
$ echo $PRINTER
which should give you the correct printer name, as
you did correctly show. Make sure upper/lowercase
matches exactly.
When you now use any lp* command, they should
refer to $PRINTER.
$ lpq
no entries
And as well:
$ lpr /etc/rc.conf
should print the specified file and place its entry
into the correct printer's queue.
from firefox.
I might ``try the /etc/csh.cshrc for system-
wide use'' option :) and get back
In Firefox (at least here in the old 2.0.0.20_9,1 versio
as I _hardly_ use it), the printing dialog contains a
way to specify the printer directly (as some other
programs also do, but setting a printer name _for each
application_ just sounds wrong).
Go: File - Print..., then Properties, where you'll
find Print Coommand:
lpr ${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME}
So you _could_ do some customization here - but it
sounds no good to do that. :-)

Thank you very much Ross Warren. You guided me in the right direction. To solve the printing issue I installed apsfilter and chose the hpij drivers, the printer appeared and I selected it. I then configured it and voila it worked :) I found the following page http://www.freebsdfoo.com/bsd-print-foo.txt and it helped me. I is an old printer my mom got for me in a yard sale three years ago and thankfully to you guys, with your suggestions/advice I got it to work with FreeBSD amd64 8.2! Regards, Antonio @Ross, I might take the advice of compiling the kernel as I am heavily looking to create a livecd/livedvd of FreeBSD. I liked freesbie, installed it port, but don't know how to use it/create it. I like Frenzy but can't find the SDK, I will create a new thread on this later.

Anyway, I was looking on google, and I don't seem to see other people having this problem, but I'm not sure what I could've done wrong. I'm using the hpijs driver, which is supposed to work perfectly under linux, and works perfectly for my other hp printer. Is this printer just not supported by FreeBSD? I couldn't find anything that stated directly either way in my quick googling, so I was hoping somebody here might have some ideas for things to check, etc. My 6980 has the same problem with hpijs and hplip... try cups (it should autodetect) Printing under Linux and FreeBSD are for all practical purposes identical. If it works under Linux is should work under FreeBSD. Which printer spooler are you using LPD, LPRng, CUPS, HPLIP/CUPS or PDQ? I personally like to use native LPD spooler. Since your printer is supported by hpijs the driver is included in apsfilter (or apsfilter will install hpijs port by default) which you compile form ports /usr/ports/print/apsfilter lpd_enable=YES in /etc/rc.conf file Alter the permission so that the daemon can access the printer as /etc/devfs.conf perm lpt0 0666 #for parallel port printer perm ulpt0 0666 #for USB printer Then cd /usr/local/share/apsfilter and run the script ./SETUP The rest is self-explanatory. If you get a message about your version of ghostscript just ignore. You probably have much newer version of Ghostscript than apsfilter expect to find. The apsfilter is more than a filter. It will help you edit your printcup file, it will convert files to ps and finally it will let you choose the drivers . The only drivers which from the apsfilter list are gutenprint drivers. If you need them make sure your compile gutenprint with the tag without CUPS. || If you need more complicated printer policies you probably want to use LPRng or CUPS. This is the link to beautiful HPLIP how to http://dsteinbrook.googlepages.com/hpliponfreebsd Make sure you read the thing about the kernel. Bare in mind couple of thins. HPLIP does not support parallel port printers! Whatever they say on HPLIP forum is lie. They do not despite the fact that hpijs did. They support parallel port printers which are free standing printer servers via the web not by attaching them directly. The proper way to enable HPLIP is to start HPLIP daemons first and than CUPS daemon by let say editing /etc/rc.conf file and rebooting. The proper way to add the printer to HPLIP is to use CUPS http://localhost:631 and add the printer and then use HPLIP-toolbox and other goodies. HPLIP will just unlock full functionality of your printer. (Toner status, all in one devices etc) Do not forget to put lpd_enable=NO in /etc/rc.conf and hide native lp,lps,lpr,lpq commands so that you can use the same CUPS commands. If you need PPD file for your printer you can download from http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting but you can also generate your own using foomantic-rip. I gave you sort of general how to. If you have more specific questions and can generate some log files that would help a lot. Cheers, Predrag - -- Aryeh M.

The standard printer spooler (lpr) only recognizes a couple of ancient file types (dvi, ditroff etc). It dumps the input that it gets to a printer, without formatting it for a certain printer. That is the job of a spooler. I would suggest that you install the cups printer spooler in combination with the gutenprint printer driver. If you have those installed correctly, you should be able to select your printer from the gimp, and it should Just Work. You might also need the 'ppd' file for your printer from http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-DeskJet_9800. This file tells gutenprint what the capabilities of the printer are.

Hello, I am trying to configure my printer but i`m running into some trouble. The hand books talks about the polled and the interrupt driven mode. Some hp printers got problems with the interupt driven mode on the parallel port. The hand book comes with a sollution allthought they say that in some cases it`s not enough. I`ve did the thinge in order to come into the pollede mode but still my printer is not working. Does any one know what i can do more to come into the polled mode.

CUPS hp deskjet driver install fails
I'm running 5.4 RELEASE. I installed cups, set up two printers (one hplj network printer and one hpdj parallel port printer) and printed test pages. The network printer printed a test page just fine. The parallel port deskjet printer took about 45 minutes to print a test page. Thinking it was a driver problem (I was using the standard cups driver), I installed print/hpijs using the WITH_CUPS=yes option. Then I started up print manager (in gnome2) to install the driver. It failed with an error - CUPS is installed differently than expected. There is no directory '/usr/share/cups/model'. There *is* a directory /usr/local/share/cups/model, so I created the /usr/share/cups directory and created a symlink in that directory to /usr/local/share/cups/model. I then attempted to install the driver again and got the following error message: Line longer than the maximum allowed (255 characters) at 1:'/usr/local/share/ppd/HP/HP-Deskjet_932C-hpijs.ppd.gz' (which is the driver I'm trying to install.)

Printing with Samba an a HP Deskjet 870Cse
Hello, I've been struggling with this problem for the last week and I am close to getting it to work, but I seem to be missing something. I currently have a HP DeskJet 870Cse hooked up via lpt0 to FreeBSD 5.1 i386 machine. I can print text files via lpr with no problem. This is done through apsfilter. I have been able to print from other BSD machines on the network. However, when I try to print from my Windows 2000 Server machine, it fails. I have Samba installed on my print server and I can see the printer from explorer on my windows box, but any attempt to access them gives me a security error. I have tried using the wizard for setting up printers and it would complete successfully, however the test page would not print. The windows queue would state that the printer is either busy or was not allowed to print there.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Probably needs one or two PJL commands tacked on to the front of the print job and one or two more at the end to cancel the duplex. Have a look for the PJL commands supported by your printer -- try an HP web site -- and write a print filter that can add in the commands either by the selection of a duplex queue or by passing options to say LPRng with lpr -Z Malcolm ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Printing to HP Deskjet 820
I'm trying to print to a Deskjet 820 (On /dev/lpt0, pdq, using pnm2ppa) pdq gives the following error: Unknown error globbing for job id. Undefined error: 0 I know from searching the archives that serveral others have had trouble with this printer, so I'm seeking mainly their help, if they ever actually got it working.

Trouble setting up HP Deskjet 855Cse printer
Hi, I have been trying to set up HP Deskjet 855Cse with my machine running FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE for a couple days and having trouble getting anything better than garbage printout. Snippet from dmesg -a : ppc0: Parallel port at port 0x378-0x37f drq 1 on isa0 ppc0: SMC-like chipset (ECP/EPP/PS2/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode ppc0: FIFO with 16/16/8 bytes threshold ppbus0: IEEE1284 device found /NIBBLE/PS2/ECP Probing for PnP devices on ppbus0: ppbus0: HEWLETT-PACKARD DESKJET 850C PCL,MLC,PML plip0: PLIP network interface on ppbus0 lpt0: Printer on ppbus0 lpt0: Polled port ppi0: Parallel I/O on ppbus0 Since kernel now recognizes the printer and /dev/lpt0, I ran a couple simple tests by sending data to /dev/lpt0 directly like the handbook suggested, it worked although with horrible staircase effect. Then I activated lpd, and start printing using lpr as regular user, but I could not get anything meaningful other than garbage, be that plain text file or postscript, just some random ASCII chars on the page. I thought this might be filtering problem, so I installed apsfilter package from the ports collection using the distribution CD. Here's my /etc/printcap after going thru apsfilter SETUP : # APS1_BEGIN:printer1 # - don't delete start label for apsfilter printer1 # - no other printer defines between BEGIN and END LABEL wulfgar|cdj850;r=300x300;q=medium;c=full;p=letter;m=auto:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ :if=/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/wulfgar:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/wulfgar/log:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/wulfgar/acct:\ :mx#0:\ :sh: # APS1_END - don't delete this In the SETUP process, printing test page worked perfectly, I can see the usual 4 rectangle grid layout, complete with, font size testing,screening test, gamma test (tiger heads), geometric objects, and photo of Andreas Klemm. So I installed the setup into /etc/printcap and tried to print as regular user using lpr command some small PS files. It printed garbage, tried plain text file as well, same thing, garbage. Bothers me to no end, how come the test page is perfect but regular printing is screwed up totally ? Things I have tried so far : - Changing to interrupt mode (IRQ 7) and recompiled the kernel, same thing. - Disabled DMA specification (getting rid of drq 1), same thing. - Re-ran SETUP and printed test pages, all test pages printed perfectly.

Re: [freebsd-questions] Trouble setting up HP Deskjet 855Cse printer
Yes, I did, as the entry was added by apsfilter SETUP script into /etc/printcap from the snippet I posted. again, this is the same /etc/printcap : # APS1_BEGIN:printer1 # - don't delete start label for apsfilter printer1 # - no other printer defines between BEGIN and END LABEL wulfgar|cdj850;r=300x300;q=medium;c=full;p=letter;m=auto:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ :if=/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/wulfgar:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/wulfgar/log:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/wulfgar/acct:\ :mx#0:\ :sh: # APS1_END - don't delete this Thanks, Fong From: Lowell Gilbert [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Lin Jianfong [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [freebsd-questions] Trouble setting up HP Deskjet 855Cse printer Date: 15 Nov 2002 14:58:51 -0500 Lin Jianfong [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: In the SETUP process, printing test page worked perfectly, I can see the usual 4 rectangle grid layout, complete with, font size testing,screening test, gamma test (tiger heads), geometric objects, and photo of Andreas Klemm.
