I installed 5.1-RELEASE on a compuiter with a nforce2 mobo, worked nice... Then I bought a Brother-5050 Laser printer (Postscript). Installed and configured cups. cups worked fine. Then I realized, the printer only works if it is turned on before my freebsd boots. When I power it up, it is detected by the freebsd usb-system: zits root # dmesg | grep ulpt ulpt0: Brother HL-5050, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 3, iclass 7/1 ulpt0: using bi-directional mode zits root # And when I turn it off: zits root # dmesg | grep ulpt ulpt0: at uhub0 port 2 (addr 3) disconnected ulpt0: detached zits root # but when I send a job to the printer, the CUPS usb backend just hangs, locking /dev/ulpt0 I tried cat /root/some-file > /dev/ulpt0 , and it also just hangs. If the printer enters standby after boot, then it also doesn't print, with the same symptoms. I then tried upgrading to -CURRENT (about a week ago), but it still doesn't work. It works perfectly from Knoppix 3.2 and winXP, so I'm pretty sure it is a freeBSD usb problem. I should also mention, that I'm using a USB mouse, and it works fine even disconnecting and reconnecting after boot. Does anyone know what I could do to get it working? Or where to look for more debugging info? /Daniel -- There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet. -- Admiral William Halsey
