I cannot print in 4.7-stable...I do not think the problem is the driver b= ut=20 with how the kernel deals the parallel port. Which is odd, since it=20 recognizes and configures it properly. =20 Why I say this, is because I cannot even send=20 # lptest > /dev/lpt0 to the printer, as nothing happens. =20 The printer is a winprinter boat anchor, which works well in linux using = the=20 same drivers (and on the same box). It is a HP820Cse using the pnm2ppa=20 filter package setup via apsfilter. =20 When I attempt to print I get an error message back=20 pnm2ppa[405]: parm_iversion(): Unknown Printer version I've written the authors of the package and they made sure I had the righ= t=20 printer selected which I do..... I've re-set the parallel port mode in the bios to=20 spp...epp...ecp+epp....nothing works so far. =20 Here's what dmesg says about it.... ppc0: <Parallel port> at port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa0 ppc0: Generic chipset (NIBBLE-only) in COMPATIBLE mode ppbus0: IEEE1284 device found /NIBBLE/ECP Probing for PnP devices on ppbus0: ppbus0: <HEWLETT-PACKARD DESKJET 820C> SCP,VLINK lpt0: <Printer> on ppbus0 lpt0: Interrupt-driven port ppi0: <Parallel I/O> on ppbus0 There has been some traffic on the past on this, but no resolution... I'm sure it will_work just dont know what is going on at this point. =20 --karl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
