I think do. First the above message "EPSON Stylus SC40" in Log is wrong. This port is for "EPSON Stylus SC480". Each names of the ports came from printer names (e.g. Photo Image Print System for linux --- epson Stylus SC480 is abbreviated to pips-sc480). Each of the printer drivers pips* and bjfilter* is for a EPSON injet printer and a Canon bubble jet print, respectively. And then its size is more than 1 MB. So total size of these drivers for each vendors is too large to collect (in the case of EPSON, the size is more than 30MB). These were distributed from the vendors and a part of source codes (which is concerned with patents) is not open. So we cannot modify the codes to reduce the size. -Satoshi TAOKA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
