Following the instructions at:http://iharder.sourceforge.net/macosx/winmacprinter/ I have everything working fine at the XP server side. But when I try to add the networked printer from my FreeBSD box, starting at KMenu-Print System-Print Manager I enter administrator mode and select 'Add printer/class' from the Add menu. This starts the Add Printer Wizard. I select remote LPD Queue add the host and queue info. At the Printer Model Selection page I check the box for Postscript Printer and get a warning dialog: Unable to find the Postscript driver. I have Ghostscript installed and it has served me well in the recent past, so I know it's there. Why can't KDE find it? Where is it looking for the postscript driver?

Check out apsfilter in the ports collection. It work very well for that.

I installed apsfilter with 'make BATCH=yes APSFILTER_ALL=yes install' On running SETUP script and selecting the hpjis driver the script informs me that my installation of ghostscript does not support inclide this driver. I browsed through the Makefile in print/ghostscript-gnu and cannot find any mention of ijs. I KNOW there is support there somewhere, because this printer worked fine when it was attached to my FreeBSD box. (Until CUPS became so broken as to be useless.) Any hints on how to configure apsfilter for use with an HP DeskJet 3650?

Does anyone have any experience doing this? Samba's smbclient can send print jobs to Windows print servers. You may have to set up a plain text printer on the Windows system to keep it from reinterpreting the data. If the Windows print server (three words that *really* don't go together) supports lpd, just use lpr.

Re: Printing from FreeBSD 6.0 client to Fedora Core 4 server via CUPS/LPD
On Thu, 5 Jan 2006 06:05 am, Tim Greening-Jackson wrote:
Hello there. I hope someone can help me with what I am sure is
an elementary problem. I am currently investigating FreeBSD
with a view to using it on my server in place of Fedora Core
4. Before I move the server from Fedora to FreeBSD, I want to
play with FreeBSD to make sure it can do everything I want
and there will be no surprises when I move my server (and
hence my business) across.
I seem to be beating my head against a brick wall attempting
to get network-based printing operating. The setup I have is
as follows. I have a internet gateway/firewall and
smb/nfs/print/DHCP server called bifrost. It is connected
via Ethernet to a workstation called tordella.
Details of the two nodes are:
Linux bifrost.shellike.com 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 #1
Thu Jun 2 22:55:56 EDT 2005 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
FreeBSD tordella 6.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE #0:
Wed Dec 14 13:04:41 GMT 2005
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/TORSNDKRNL i386
(Note that the TORSNDKRNL kernel is the 6.0 generic one with
support for my sound-card compiled in).
Connected to bifrost is an HPLJ1200 printer (lp0). If tordella
runs Windows 2000 it can use the printer via SMB, as can other
Microsoft systems (e.g. my laptop)
So:
+-+ +-++-+
| tordella| | bifrost || HPLP 1200 |
| FreeBSD 6.0 | | Fedora 4++ (lp0) |
| 10.0.0.10 | | 10.0.0.1|| |
+--+--+ +--+--++-+
+==+=+==+
100BaseT
Bifrost runs CUPS as its Unix printing service. Both the
FreeBSd handbook and 'The Complete FreeBSD' suggest that LPD
will be used on tordella. As far as I can tell the two should
be compatible. But... when I attempt to print I get this on
tordella:
tordella# ls -l | lpr
tordella# lpq
tordella: Warning: lp is down: waiting for bifrost to come
up tordella: Warning: no daemon present
Rank Owner Job Files
Total Size
1stroot 7(standard input)
1279 bytes
and on bifrost I get:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ lpq
HPLJ1200 is ready
no entries
bifrost's /etc/printcap is:
HPLJ1200|HPLJ1200:rm=bifrost:rp=HPLJ1200:
(with comments removed) and tordella's is:
lp|HPLJ1200|LaserJet 1200 on bifrost:\
:sh:\
:rm=bifrost:\
Possibly need
:rp=HPLJ1200: \
in here
:sd=/var/spool/output/bifrost:\
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\
:if=/usr/local/libexec/cups/filter/texttops:
and of course you have the lpd daemon started?
On bifrost, the relevant lines of /etc/cups/cupsd.conf are:
Location /printers/HPLJ1200
Order Allow,Deny
Allow From All
Allow from tordella
Allow From 127.0.0.1

Having done a man cups-lpd, I have also added the following
to /etc/xinet.d on bifrost
xinetd.conf on BSD but might be xinet.d on FC4
service printer
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = lp
group = sys
passenv =
server = /usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-lpd
server_args = -o

Of course you have the xinetd daemon started?

RE: Printing from FreeBSD to Windows XP
Hello, I have a small home network with 2 computers, one running FreeBSD and the other with Windows XP Professional. I have a printer hooked up to the Windows XP machine and I would like to be able to print to it from my FreeBSD box. I have already install Printer Services for Unix in Windows. I am just a little confused on how to setup the FreeBSD part. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you share out the printer on the XP box like you would for any other win box, you can just install/configure apsfilter (in the ports) to print to it. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That's more for printing to Unix, and other tcp/ip networked, print servers. I am just a little confused on how to setup the FreeBSD part. Try CUPS, which can work with smbclient to print to windows shared printers. If you like, just use smbclient alone. If you installed samba (which is a good idea in a mixed network like this), you should already have it all.
