And most of the time when it does the lpd deamon stops working as well. When I check the status with lpq it tells me there is no deamon present. I just stop lpd and restart it to get things working again and all is fine. I am a real paperless type of person these days so I hardly ever print anything. I often turn my printer off for weeks, even months at a time and then when I turn it back on most of the time the the above scenario happens. On rare occassions the lpd deamon works fine without having to restart it. But most of the time a restart of lpd is required. Your setup using CUPS and SAMBA may not be the same. Hi, I put HP LaserJet Pro P1102 on a CUPS server with Samba. I followed the steps as shown here: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=21312 except I have 7.4-RELEASE, so I recompiled the kernel without ulpt device as suggested in foo2zjs site (INSTALL notes on FreeBSD 7), and the printer is now on ugen0.1. After installation, the printer became available in CUPS, I could print a test page, then I exported CUPS and WINDOWS postscript drivers to Samba with cupsaddsmb. Then I added the printer on some Windows XP workstations, and the shared driver installed automatically as expected. The problem is that after some idle minutes, the printer stops responding. The job just disappears from the queue, but nothing prints. The same thing on the CUPS web interface. If I restart cupsd, the printer prints again. But as soon as try printing from another workstation, it's again silent. Really weird. I found in the HP manual that it has an economic usage "feature" that by default is set to switch the printer off after 5 minutes being idle. The printer should switch on again when a new job is sent. This can be disabled but only with a native HP driver (don't really understand where it happens -- on the host the printer is attached to or within the printer's firmware). I tried to install the HP Windows driver on a workstation, attached the printer directly to it, disabled the switching off, sent a job from there as told in the manual but it didn't help. But maybe the 'economic usage feature' isn't the reason. Any ideas of what could be wrong? _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" I cannot say this for sure about your setup because mine is a little different.
