Hi, I posted this same question to cups.general list, and have not received an answer yet. Can anyone help? cups-1.2.0 on FreeBSD-6.1-RELEASE-p2 HP1100 parallel port printer on lpt0. root@moe /root# dmesg | more ... ppc0: <Parallel port> at port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa0 ppc0: Generic chipset (EPP/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode ppbus0: <Parallel port bus> on ppc0 ppbus0: IEEE1284 device found /NIBBLE/ECP Probing for PnP devices on ppbus0: ppbus0: <Hewlett-Packard HP LaserJet 1100.1.0> PRINTER MLC,PCL,PJL plip0: <PLIP network interface> on ppbus0 lpt0: <Printer> on ppbus0 lpt0: Interrupt-driven port ... Printer -=IS=- on, -=IS=- connected, lptest > /dev/lpt0 works. root@moe /root# find / backend ... find: backend: No such file or directory I have done make deinstall, make reinstall on all the applicable ports, no joy. The web interface does not auto-detect my printer, nor can I add it for lack of the parallel port choice. The prior version of cups worked on the same computer with the same version of FreeBSD. What's wrong? -- Thanks, Charles http://bubbabbq.homeunix.net
