I have many problems in setting an epson stylus color 640 up on my FreeBS= D 5.3 box. I compiled apsfilter to be used with the UNIX lpd and obviously configured it with the eps640pl.upp (360x360 dpi) gs driver. To put it in a nutshell my FreeBSD box prints BUT it is : (i) Unbelievably slow (something like 15 minutes for a simple text page!)= (ii) The quality of printing is very poor, ligth and not sharp This is what /var/log/messages says about the printing stuff: ............................. kernel: ppc0: <Parallel port> at port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa0 kernel: ppc0: SMC-like chipset (ECP/EPP/PS2/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode kernel: ppc0: FIFO with 16/16/8 bytes threshold kernel: ppbus0: <Parallel port bus> on ppc0 kernel: ppbus0: IEEE1284 device found /NIBBLE kernel: Probing for PnP devices on ppbus0: kernel: ppbus0: <EPSON Stylus COLOR 640> PRINTER ESCPL2,BDC ................................................ lpd[612]: lp: open(/var/spool/lpd/lp/log): No such file or directory VicBSD kernel: Interrupt storm detected on "irq7: lpt0"; throttling inte= rrupt source In device.hints: hint.ppc.0.at=3D"isa" hint.ppc.0.irq=3D"7" Why is that and what should I do? Please help Vittorio
