Hi folks, I'm using a HP Laserjet P1006 on a freebsd with cups to make the printer available on the network. Since this modell is one of the crapy-cheap-laserjets it has some firmware you have to upload, everytime the printer has lost power. Currently I'm doing this via a cron job once a hour, but it's not satisfying, since the printer is located in the office of a customer and at max he has to wait 1h until he can use the printer. So my question is, how can I execute the command which uploads the firmware (which is nothing more than a 'cat firmware > /dev/ugen0.1') whenever the printer is connected? Regards, Olli
