Simplest way to print to a HP USB Printer without HPLIP
Hello, How can I print to a HP printer without installing HPLIP? I know the exact filter needed to print to the printer (foo2zjs according to OpenPrinting.org) If it were PARALLEL or SERIAL I could use the handbook but handbook doesn't have any info. about printing to a USB printer.

The only difference is the device, using /dev/ulpt0 or /dev/unlpt0. My lpd Printing With FreeBSD demonstrates: http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/lpdprinting.html But a foo2zjs printer may require a firmware download before it is even detected as a printer, and then foo2zjs probably requires CUPS. There are some threads on forums.freebsd.org that may help. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

They all speak postscript. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well if you want to use your printers in PostScript mode you can just send row .ps file and it should print i.e. you can remove the af and if lines from the printcap and should work. Now what about other file types? Lets have a second look for instance at LJ2100. According to Linux Printing Database (which is the one we also use in BSD world) http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-LaserJet_2100 the recommended way of using for instance LJ2100 is via Printer Command Language 5 or 6 i.e. you need a driver. The recommended driver for LJ2100 is pxlmono which is build in Ghostscript. If you use printer with Apsfilter you can just select the driver. Files of any type should be printed no question asked. If you use PPD file and fomatic-rip filter as in the above printcap example the jobs would be passed through pxlmono driver. You may send to printer ps or non ps files (pdf, dvi, gif, html) and everything should work no question asked. The printer will work eight other drivers. Now the final question is probably that there is custom PPD vile for PostScript mode according to the same Database. I think that that one is only relevant for CUPS as PPD files are used via IPP (only spoken by CUPS) to fake real communication with the device and show things like printer status. I am not 100% sure but I think that PPD file is what one would call CUPS-PPD file. If you send let say .pdf file that PPD file probably will tell CUPS how to pass pdf file through GhostScript and create ps version and then print it. I am not sure if it going to be useful with LPD. Of course in the case you do not have any filters in your printcap you can send only ps files to printer. You can play on the following way. Remove the if (input filter line from your printcap file) and keep af but put that particular custom PPD file which is used for PostScript mode. Try to send ps and pdf file. If it prints only ps file that means that PPD does nothing for LPD if it can print pdf files that means that is usable with LPD. I personally use most printers in PCL mode just because I have lots of different mish-mash printer non of which speaks full PostScript language.

And here you forget what you said, and claim the cups is just stupid to use under CLI It IS stupid to use under CLI if all your going to be doing is using the same /etc/printcap config file and same filters that you would use under lpr/lpd. Are you a specialist now in ripping out sound bites and ignoring the rest of the paragraph? (no backoff from your FUD above, though). Our own printer system DOES NOTHING whatever for remote administration, nor organization of drovers, nor ability to print different type sources, nor the added security options. Eh? ssh into the print server and you can administer all you want. Organization of drivers? What drivers? Why do you need drivers? Oh I forgot, your too busy dropping $800 in superfast hardware to image pages for your $99 printer you got free with a coupon, and prints about 25 pages before the ink cartridge is empty. The real usefulness of CUPS is under a GUI, particularly married with a GUI configuration interface. For example you didn't install your printers under MacOS X by hand-editing the CUPS configuration files under MacOS X, you used the GUI configurator in System Properties, which interfaces with CUPS. That's why Apple had to license CUPS after all, because they modified it under MacOS X to allow the Aqua GUI to interface to it, and they didn't want to release the mods they made to it into the wild. In fact, if you compile ghostscript and compile the foomatic software under MacOS X, you can download, compile and using the Aqua GUI configurator interface to CUPS, install a gigantic number of printer drivers under MacOS X. With little trouble, you can (and I did) integrate all the foomatic stuff under MacOS, without recompiling. In the FreeBSD world the usual command-line junkies do the Right Thing and go buy a Postscript printer. And that also is FUD. A long time, I think about 20 years back, before I knew better, I did exactly that. It turns out that postscript printers run about 10 times more slowly than using ghostscript on your system and only sending the native image to the printer absolutely wrong. Only if you have a really cheap, old Postscript interpreter such as like the HP III with the add-in Postscript card, stacked against a 3Ghz PC tied to a winprinter with USB2 will you see this. Otherwise, you take the more common elderly 500Mhz CPU Win98 system that's been retired to a FreeBSD system and tie it to your winprinter and try imaging anything complex on it, and the PC will take far longer to image it than going Postscript to a decent printer like an HP5 (which are cheap as dirt on the used market) And this is just image printing - text is a whole different ballgame, it's far faster going Postscript to the printer if your printing multiple pages because your uploading the fonts and then following with just a text stream, your not imaging page after page. All of this of course sidesteps the discussion of what your considering is a high-end Postscript printer and what your printing with it and how much your printing. , so using cups is both far, far more cheap CUPS Ghostscript. gs and all the foomatic stuff runs just fine with LPR/LPD, no CUPS needed. (postscript printers being uniformly more expensive) Any decent workgroup laserjet will cost far less per-page than an inkjet, even going color, these days. Your talking false economy here - sure you may buy a color inkjet for $99 vs a color laser for $400 but print 500

Again wrong. Usually, until lately, my printer of choice has been a HP OfficeJet printer, which uses PCL5 for it's language, You can only use IPP if cups happens to be on both machines involved, but there are excellent, mature things designed for FreeBSD, like apsfilter, which do all the translation from the original format to postscript then back to whatever is native, and handle all the spooling and multi-format printing. The only negative, really, in cups is that it asks you to use the lpr in /usr/local/bin instead of /usr/bin. and that (under FreeBSD) it's installation is execrebly documented and mis/under installed. It and it alone allows a nice REMOTE gui interface to administer with, but you sort of forgot that. The Foomatic project, a con of CUPS (one that clearly asks you to install CUPS), with it's GREAT documentation of drivers and production of ppd files, is by far the best unix effort to organize printer drivers, that's flatly true. Even the fine GUI admin isn't forced to be GUI, because they allow you to use their CLI options also. None of your arguments hold water. The only thing wrong with CUPS is that under FreeBSD it's mis/under-installed, and the rest of your points (I think I've competently shown) are incorrect). I don't recognize what bias seems to be fueling your dislike of it, but I think it's undeniably true that you exhibit one.

Someone since then found for me a wiki (non-FreeBSD- you note) that gives more help, but it seems that no helkp is forthcoming from FreeBSD itself. I specified in the email that non-local printers, which only use default ps drivers worked fine also, it was only when you tried to install locally based printers, which need local drivers, that you end up in trouble.

It had stopped working on each of them after an upgrade that I have long since forgot. After going through all of the removals and reinstalls, I compared what was installed on these systems with a Linux box that cups worked on.

Well, I beg to differ with you. That's one way to do it. Yours is

To install the printer do the following
1. Alter permission on the device nodes chmod 0660 /dev/ulpt0
2. chgrp cupsd /dev/ulpt0

I didn't have to do any of this.

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]

I'm sorry, I sent this without a subject in previous email. Have you tried googling for this? 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.

Printing to a USB-printer + making it available to one other Windows machine
Hi there, Since the last thread I started died, I start a new one. I was using CUPS, but when I tried printing a test page, the printer did respond(by doing it's usual initializing work(like cleaning the printhead(I think))), but didn't print the testpage. Someone said if you don't use CUPS, it can work. Now, my question is: what printing sytem enables me to print locally and over the network with the least amount of configuration?

Re: Printing to a USB-printer + making it available to one other Windows machine
If you can get it working locally it is easy to make it work with CUPS on the network. CUPS is the easiest way to print on the network. (though there are good reasons to use others) Start simple: get something (either ghostscript or plain text) printing locally. Until the printer works on freeBSD locally you can never be sure it isn't a flakely cable or some simple thing that you are misdiagnosing. It's not a bad cable since the printer works under Windows and my previous Linux install(via CUPS) I don't remember the original thread, did you go to www.linuxprinting.org and follow their instructions? In most cases that is enough to get your printer working. Yes, I did. The hard part is making the printer work. Once it works, it is almost trivial to add CUPS. I know. If I want to communicate with the printer to get the inklevels etc, the kernel crashes. (I use escputil). It's a bug in the usb drivers. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I just get an I/O Error. Debug shows it's communicating, and the printer status displays scanning, but nothing comes through. When it cancels it also resets the scanner which shows it's communicating ok. Some errors are also showing for me in mpt soon after ptal starting up, which may be the problem although it doesn't affect printing. I'll follow it up on the mailing list.

Can anyone help me with this? The first step is to see if your system recognizes the usb printer. If you review the output of dmesg, you should find the printer associated with a ulpt device. If it's associated with a ugen device, then the system doesn't recognize it. If the printer is recognized, the next step is to configure it. The easiest ways include installing a printer program such as cups or apsfilter. You can find these apps in the ports; and you can find lots of documentation via google. Information regarding your specific printer can be found at: http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-DeskJet_842C If your printer is not identified correctly when connected via usb, you can purchase an external print server with usb ports and use apsfilter or cups to configure the printer over the internet.

USB Printer bafflement - ppd problem?
Hello all, I've an epson r300, and I'm trying to use cups. su-2.05b# lptest 20 5 /dev/ulpt0 works fine, though it doesn't eject the sheet at the end - I can pretty much live with sending my own form feed for the moment. GIMP prints fine too - epson r300 is on the list, and I use the command 'lpr', simple as that, but it'll print just as well if I use 'kprinter' as the command (depending on how that's set up). But nothing else seems to work. su-2.05b# lptest 20 5 | lpr just does a little 'reset' jiggle, but doesn't print anything. kprinter does the same (won't print a test page, and no other programs can print via it), so does open office... I've tried 3 different ppd files as the driver in kprinter and open office: 2 which I made with foomatic-ppdfile thus: foomatic-ppdfile -d gimp-print-ijs -p Epson-Stylus_Photo_R300 /usr/home/ben/epson_r300_gimpprintijs.ppd and foomatic-ppdfile -d gimp-print -p Epson-Stylus_Photo_R300 /usr/home/ben/epson_r300_gimp-print.ppd as well as the file which comes with the pips driver for this printer, ekspr300_310.ppd. No luck at all. I guess it's a ppd problem, but I can't think why GIMP can print and nothing else can - what does it know that nothing else does?

usb printer won't behave
Hello, I've just got a new epson stylus photo r300 - lovely, works like a dream... in windows. But not in FreeBSD su-2.05b# lptest 20 10 /dev/ulpt0 makes the print heads move a little, then stop - sounds like it's getting ready to print, then changes its mind. If there's a sheet ready for printing it's ejected at that point. The same thing happens if I do su-2.05b# lptest 20 10 ~/test su-2.05b# cat ~/test /dev/ulpt0 I installed the port print/pips-spr300_310, which is the proper driver for this printer - on install it created /etc/printcap: # written for pips-spr300_310 spr300_310|EPSON SPR300_310:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/spr300_310:\ :mx#0:\ :sh:\ :lp=/var/ekpd/ekplp0:\ :if=/usr/local/libexec/pips/SPR300_310/filter-spr300_310:\ :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs: # pips-spr300_310 end as well as the corresponding spool directory and other files mentioned. It also prompts to add some lines to /etc/libmap.conf: # Photo Image Print System (for EPSON bubble jet printer) [/usr/local/lib/pips/libspr300_310.so] libc.so.6 pluginwrapper/pips.so libdl.so.2 pluginwrapper/pips.so so I did that. Now, su-2.05b# lpr -Pspr300_310 ~/test su-2.05b# lptest 20 10 | lpr -Pspr300_310 su-2.05b# lpq -Pspr300_310 Rank Owner Job Files Total Size 1stroot 10 /root/test210 bytes 2ndroot 11 (standard input) 210 bytes ...and they'll stay there indefinitely without a peep from the printer, not even the throat-clearing it does redirecting directly to the device node... The detection of the printer is pretty hit and miss - it only seems to work if the printer is off when bsd boots up, AND if I switch it on after I switch on my digital camera! (Odd, huh?) But when it does work, this is what I get: umass0: EPSON USB2.0 MFP, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 2 ulpt0: EPSON USB2.0 MFP, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 2, iclass 8/6 ulpt0: using bi-directional mode da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: EPSON Stylus Storage 1.00 Removable Direct Access SCSI-2 device da0: 1.000MB/s transfers da0: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not present (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): READ CAPACITY.

CUPS not initialising USB printer correctly?
Hi, I've been using CUPS with a couple of epson inkjet over the last few years. My old inkjet which was a parallel port version seemed to work OK (albeit *very* slowly). When I bought a new C61 USB printer a couple of years ago, I found it printed OK sometimes, but often the first time I print to it, it prints garbage. I have stop CUPS, clear the print queue, reset the printer restart CUPS (sometimes several times) before it will print correctly. Once it's right, it stays that way until I switch my computer off. I've tried starting the computer with the printer on with it off (which means I have to stop restart cups before it will detect the printer), but either way I have this problem. I assume that CUPS is somehow initialising the printer incorrectly sometimes. Has anyone else experienced this problem, or have any suggestion for fixing it without the whole stop, reset, reload process?

Re: Is it possible to set-up a USB Printer in Freebsd?
Hi Mark: The Epson Stylus C20UX is fully supported according to LinuxPrinting.org: http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Epson-Stylus_C20UX Use the gimp print drivre they suggest at that URL. That means that you can use CUPS and Gimp Print in FreeBSD. 1) Install cups and gimp print (in /usr/ports/print) 2) cd (as root i.e. #) to /usr/local/etc/rc.d and copy the cups.sh.sample to cups.sh 3) Make sure that cups.sh is executable. 4) do: # ./cups.sh start 5) now that the cups daemon is started do: # lynx http://localhost:631/admin (you can also do this from a user account using a regular browser). In both cases you will have to log into root. The web browser will pop up a login. 6) You can now add a new printer through your browser. See the screenshots here for an example: http://www.silbsd.org/CUPS-NetBSD_landscape.html I know this is for NetBSD but from step 5 to 15 it's the same on FreeBSD. As for the USB part, that is handled during the web browser configuration.

Cables are simple and cheap. USB is superior to RS232 Serial and to Parallel for printing, but it is not as well supported under UNIX® systems. A way to avoid this problem is to purchase a printer that has both a USB interface and a Parallel interface, as many printers do. note that the degree of support available will more likely have to do with the quality and popularity of your printer than with your usb port. though cheap ink jet win-printers are popular, they tend not to be nearly as well supported as many of the somewhat more expensive laser printers. (i don't know which your model is.) Now I have a big problem.. I can only think of two things, either repartition my entire pc, and of course.. the worst.. buy a new parallel/serial printer.. if you insist. though, i'd suggest a 3rd alternative - paying the handbook a closer read. you might also find this article helpful. http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2004/07/08/FreeBSD_Basics.html hth, epi Any idea what should I do???

How to configure usb printer with ulpt0 rather than ugen0?
Note: recently asked, I tried someone's suggestion, still can't do it. How do i associate my usb printer with ulpt0, rather than the ugen0 that it boots up with? Original question and data repeated below, the only difference is: - My officejet k80xi usb printer is the only usb equipment connected to my computer. I have moved it to the first physical port, so now the printer shows up on ugen0. Still nothing on ulpt[01]. - I have removed the hub mentioned below. Nothing on the second physical port, only the usb printer on ugen0 - all data/indications below the same, except the printer is now on ugen0 rather than ugen1. I can't figure out how to bind my usb printer to ulpt0, rather than ugen1 as it is now. My physical setup: first usb port: logitech wingman hub second usb port: HP OfficeJet K80xi The hub has an HP 7400c scanjet, and the cable for a camera, with nothing currently connected to the cable. In a previous freebsd install with this same setup, I've downloaded pictures through that cable, haven't tried that yet with this install. Never tried scanning. But back to printing ... Here's my failure indication (besides not printing). I'm using apsfilter to set up my printer. When I try printing a test page I get this: Printing test page... -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 3808147 Dec 7 13:56 /tmp/apsfilter320/test_page.aps /usr/local/share/apsfilter/SETUP: line 1: /dev/ulpt0: Device not configured So I guess I have to figure out what Device not configured means, and how to fix it.

still about Newbie USB Printer Problem
Hello. I read the previous post Newbie USB Printer Problem and its follow-ups, well, I am more newbie than him:). Now I wish to connect my Canon S400SP printer with my Thinkpad 600X notebook (running 5.1-RELEASE), since I never printed anything with FreeBSD before, 1. Do I need a specific filter for the printer to print graphic? 2. Looking into the ports, it seems most Canon printer filters are for Bubble Jet printers. I think my printer is not Bubble Jet because the printer's manual didn't say so. So is there a filter for my printer at all? Thank you. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
