You should get a site which has good coverage of setting up CUPS and LPR. If you go to the Linux printing site first you may be able to get a complete PPD for the printer which will help.

USB printer setup
Ok. I read through the handbook pages on printing and it doesn't have too much on usb printers. Can anyone suggest where i might start with setting up my USB Samsung laser printer? (My system loads it on ulpt0 so kernel is fine!)

[Please wrap your lines at 72 columns, thanks.] It's the same as a parallel port printer setup, just use /dev/ulpt0 instead of /dev/lpt0 in the printcap definition. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Any suggestions on what i'm doing wrong? Two possibilities here. When this happened to me, the USB device shared an IRQ with another device. Changing that solved the problem. The other is that the printer is a Winprinter, meaning that it can't print simple ascii text, but has to be fed a rendered image of the page. if ghostscript has a driver for the printer, you might try something like: enscript -o - /etc/rc.conf | gs -sOutputFile=/dev/ulpt0 -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=... with ... replaced by the appropriate device driver and any driver-specific flags you may want to use. mike -- Mike Meyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

I have a 3820 which works great using hpijs, though despite the similair name, IIRC the 3420 has completely different hardware in it. - -- Cheers, Chris Howells -- [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://chrishowells.co.uk, PGP key: http://chrishowells.co.uk/pgp.txt KDE: http://www.koffice.org, http://printing.kde.org, http://usability.kde.org -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+MvSiF8Iu1zN5WiwRAhVoAJ9VZz9btgVNMB7RZ/J4iixRvTmkMgCeIM2N aR4ZHFYKg6D1LQkRuzZkbnc= =ical -END PGP SIGNATURE- To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
