No need to do that. Basically, the default options
should be fine. However, _some_ programs require you
to set paper format or margins.

For actual _printing_, there is no need for any
configuration. Programs will address the default
printing queue (lp, or whatever $PRINTER says).

If your printer is Deskjet, add

setenv PRINTER Deskjet

to /etc/csh.cshrc for systemwide use (all users),
or whatever your default shell is. You can also
use login.conf to set this environmental variable.

I suggest to do so because if _not_ done, you'd
have to add -P Deskjet in too many places. :-)

Polytropon,

Thank you for the suggestion. I am using bash as my shell. I have a
file ~/.bashrc with command in there and I get:

bash: setenv: command not found

Contents of ~/.bashrc are as follows:
/

[olivares@quadcore /usr/home/olivares]$ cat .bashrc
# User specific environment and startup programs
setxkbmap -option compose:ralt
setenv PRINTER Deskjet

Thanks for the suggestion hope to get it working :)

Regards,

Antonio

Of course. :-) The setenv command is specific to the
C shell (FreeBSD's default dialog shell). In bash (and
in sh too), you set an environmental vairable like this:

export PRINTER=Deskjet

This is short for

PRINTER=Deskjet
export PRINTER

See man bash for details: The supplied names are marked
for automatic export to the  environment  of subsequently
executed commands. - and so on.



 Contents of ~/.bashrc are as follows:
 /
 
 [olivares@quadcore /usr/home/olivares]$ cat .bashrc
 # User specific environment and startup programs
 setxkbmap -option compose:ralt 
 setenv PRINTER Deskjet 

I don't think you need to send any of them into
background (), as they should be processed right
away.

For example, your ~/.bashrc could look like this:

setxkbmap -option compose:ralt
export PRINTER=Deskjet

Keep in mind that in _this_ case, $PRINTER is set for
_your_ account only (which should be fine on a single-
user system).

However, if you set it up in /etc/csh.cshrc for system-
wide use, user shells like bash should incorporate the
setting.

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.

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. :-)

Requires re-login, but reboot should also be fine. :-)

On the root prompt which (I assume!) has the C shell
as the default dialog shell,

% echo $PRINTER

or

% printenv PRINTER

should show the correct name. The lp* tools will then
use it (if set).

 setenv PRINTER Deskjet

I also have this in mine (although Laserjet is the
name for the standard printer, and Laserjet-nodup for
an additional printer without the duplexer). My login
shell is the C shell. When I start bash from a csh
prompt, I can also use the lp* commands, as $PRINTER
will be inherited.



 But if I change lpr to lpr -P Deskjet, I can print.  Then I will need
 to play with it some more?

Make sure the settings are in effect. According to the
manpages and my experience (that it _does_ work this
way) show that if $PRINTER is present, it will be used
as the default -P parameter. It makes things easier.

For example, _all_ printing does to the default printer.
If a temporary change is needed, just set $PRINTER to a
different value as long as you need it. If it's a one
time only use, -P is definitely better.

Does it have some _overriding_ settings in its

As it should be. The processing from plain text to
whatever you need for the printer is done by the
printer filter (e. g. ghostscript-based, apsfilter,
CUPS, or something custom).



 Firefox 5 does not have the properties option :( you mentioned.  It
 has File - Page Setup, File - Print Preview, File - Print [General
 - Page Settings - Options],  but no properties to change printer
 options :(

Very strange. But then, Firefox should address the
DEFAULT printer queue, which is the one $PRINTER
points to.

Maybe you can try to print from a different web
browser, e. g. Opera, just for testing?



 Thank you for the help, I am almost there, in fact I
 can live with what I got :)

There is a workaround for this, and the emphasize
is on work: You can have Firefox printing to a file
instead to the $PRINTER. This file will be a postscript
file. You can _then_ send this PS file (per lpr file)
to the printer. :-)

But I would really suggest to look into Firefox's 
settings. There must be something strange inside.

Ok I have figured it out :)

I need to change `lpr` to `lpr -P Deskjet` and it will print.


lpr uses the lp queue by default.  If that queue is capable of 
accepting PostScript (with a filter, in this case), all that's needed is 
for the application to use lpr.___

 I modified the -sDEVICE to  -sDEVICE=deskjet  since the machine is an
 Desjet.  The printer is on a USB and it is connected.  I have tried to
 change

 /dev/ulpt0 and /dev/unlpt0 and still get the same thing.  Any
 pointers/advice/hints?

 Thanks in Advance,

 Antonio


I have found a page in OpenPrinting:

http://www.openprinting.org/printer/HP/HP-DeskJet_812C

But the device /dev/ulpt0 and/or /dev/unlpt0 are not found :(

quadcore# ls /dev/ulpt0
ls: /dev/ulpt0: No such file or directory
quadcore# ls /dev/unlpt0
ls: /dev/unlpt0: No such file or directory

I need to add them somewhere in /etc/rc.conf, or in /boot/loader.conf ?

Thanks,

Antonio

This needs to be fixed.  The entry is broken or at least incomplete. 
Line 62 has spaces or tabs after the backslash at the end.


A Deskjet 812C should be a parallel printer, with device /dev/lpt0.  Are 
you using a USB to parallel adapter?

Cancel that, an 812C has both parallel and USB.  Make sure only the USB 
cable is connected, I suspect those printers don't have auto port 
switching.  When the printer is connected and powered on, /dev/ulpt0 and 
/dev/unlpt0 should appear.

Okay, it's progress.  And good news, that printer understands plain

Make certain lpd is running (pgrep lpd), then try the test shown in the

Well, you had problems with ulpt so maybe removing it which is
required for HPLIP is a solution. Sorry if recompiling the kernel is
not an option for you. Otherwise it just works.

Ross,

I am afraid to screw up and for the first time, I can say that I have
updated FreeBSD successfully without hiccups and I have not compiled
the kernel on FreeBSD :(, I have done it on linux systems many times,
but have not here, and I would hate to lose all the work just to get
the printer working.

I will be patient and try some things out then report back.  I
appreciate the help and if I can't find a solution, I will take the
plunge :) and hopefully not fail.

If you do decide to take this route, it's not that hard to recompile a kernel.

# csup -h cvsup.FreeBSD.org -L2 /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile

Copy your kernconf, say COFFIN, to /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/ if you are
on 32bit or to /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/ if on amd64.
The file could be just the following (just the GENERIC kernel,
slightly modified):
--- cut ---
include GENERIC

ident   COFFIN

# Remove legacy support
nocpu   I486_CPU
nocpu   I586_CPU

# HPLIP can't work whithout this
nodeviceulpt
--- cut ---

# cd /usr/src
# make buildkernel KERNCONF=COFFIN
# make installkernel KERNCONF=COFFIN
# reboot

That's it.

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.  Thanks again.
