Hi all,

I'm trying to get a usb printer working on FreeBSD 4.3. I have
device ulpt 
in my kernel, and /dev/ulpt0 exists in /dev. 

When I plug the cable into my machine, I see nothing in
/var/log/messages. 

Does anyone have any advice to help me get this working ? At present
my printcap is as follows :

epson:\
        :sh:\
        :ml=0:\
        :mx=0:\
        :sd=/var/spool/output/epson:\
        :lp=/dev/ulpt0:\
        :lpd_bounce=true:\
        :if=/usr/local/libexec/hpif:

I'm using an hp filter, but lpq -Pepson says
waiting for epson to become ready (offline?)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

TIA,
