I have a HP PSC950 USB printer, now after some playing around I seem to be able to get freebsd to accept it: -su-2.05b# dmesg | grep usb usb0: on uhci0 usb0: USB revision 1.0 usb1: on uhci1 usb1: USB revision 1.0 usb2: on uhci2 usb2: USB revision 1.0 usb3: on uhci3 usb3: USB revision 1.0 -su-2.05b# dmesg | grep lp lpt0: on ppbus0 lpt0: Interrupt-driven port -su-2.05b# usbdevs -v Controller /dev/usb0: addr 1: self powered, config 1, UHCI root hub(0x0000), Intel(0x0000), rev 1.00 port 1 addr 2: power 2 mA, config 1, PSC 950(0x1e11), Hewlett-Packard(0x03f0), rev 1.00 port 2 powered However I get the all to familiar: -su-2.05b# lptest > /dev/ulpt0 -su: /dev/ulpt0: Device not configured -su-2.05b# lptest > /dev/unlpt0 -su: /dev/unlpt0: Device not configured I have compiled my kernel with usb support as per the GENERIC kernel: device uhci # UHCI PCI->USB interface device ohci # OHCI PCI->USB interface device usb # USB Bus (required) device ugen # Generic device uhid # "Human Interface Devices" device ukbd # Keyboard device ulpt # Printer device umass # Disks/Mass storage - Requires scbus and da device ums # Mouse device uscanner # Scanners device urio # Diamond Rio MP3 Player but still am having no success. If there is already a suitable answer to this on the net, I would appreciate it if someone could point me towards it, else if someone else has had similar problems and solve them I would be grateful if you could let me know how. Many thanks Jake
