Install USB Printer on FreeBSD
Hello, I am trying with no luck setting up a an USB Xerox Phaser 3116 printer on FreeBSD 6.0 I have installed and enabled CUPS and from the CUPS web admin area I have added the printer as USB Printer #1. When I try to print a test page the printer makes a normal noise like it is trying to get paper but it does not print. Just stops. If I try to print a file nothing happens. As far as I know the printer knows Postcript but in CUPS I could only choose RAW when it asked about the driver. What should I do? Thanks. P.S. I'm sorry, I sent this without a subject in previous email. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Do you have ghostscript properly installed and configured? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

A 10 second search found that it uses the same drivers as the Samsung ML1210 (probably re badged Xerox) which is listed on the linux printing site. I have searched on google for various terms but have not found that. I probably searched using other keywords. Ok, so if I find the Samsung driver, can this be added and selected from CUPS? Rob Alin Try http://www.linuxprinting.org/ it should give you all the info you need.
