Description:
Hi!
Perhaps I only fail because the handbook (which is excellent in many ways)
provi
des only little info on how to connect a printer to an USB port. In case
there i
s something special I overlooked, please let me know how I should do it and
send
this PR to Class www.
My printer is an HP LaserJet 6MP without an USB interface (too old). It
serve
s me fine when connected to a computer's parallel port. When I connect this
prin
ter to a computer's USB port (with an adapter cable), only the first
document (w
hat size ever) is printed. For further documents, printer starts blinking,
stops
blinking and does nothing.
For modern computers no longer have a parallel port, I can only connect
via U
SB.
Obviously, the problem has nothing to with the spooling system, for it
happen
s as well with [CMD= ]cat test.ps /dev/ulpt0[/CMD] issued twice: The
first d
ocument is printed, any further not. (The printer understands Postscript.)
Same
situation with /dev/unlpt0.
I observe(d) the problem
- on my Acer Laptop with FreeBSD 8.0 (after [CMD= ]kldload ulpt[/CMD])
- on my Apple Macmini with FreeBSD 10.0 (where ulpt is compiled into the
kernel)
- on a laptop I had in the meantime of which I remember nothing except
having Fr
eebSD installed
- on my Apple Macmini running under XUbuntu 10.4.3
I do/did not observe the problem
+ on my Apple Macmini running under MacOS X MountainLeopard (which I have
completely replaced by FreeBSD)
+ on my Acer Laptop using parallel port.
Surprisingly the problem cannot be solved by turning the printer off
and on a
gain. It can be solved by rebooting the computer (leaving the printer on).
When I issue [CMD= ]lpr test.ps[/CMD] a 2nd time and [CMD=
]lpq[/CMD], I
get:
waiting for lp to become ready (offline?)
When connected to the parallel interface interface, the printer worked
fine
only in polled mode. Unfortunately, I don't know how to tune
/boot/device.hint
s for ulpt. And [CMD= ]lptcontrol -p -d /dev/ulpt0[/CMD] returns:
lptcontrol:
ioctl: Operation not supported by device.
Best regards,
Volker
Hi,
You can trace the USB traffic using usbdump. man usbdump Maybe that will
give
you the clues you need to find the problem.
Thank you!
--HPS
Dear Hans Petter,
I did [CMD= ]usbdump number1[/CMD] when printing the first document,
and same with new file for the 2nd, but it does not give me an clue. ERROR
is always 0, and there were no packages gropped by the kernel.
Best regards,
Volker
