Hi, I am running FreeBSD 5.4. I have upgraded my ports and recompiled the system and kernel. I have a USB laser printer (Lexmark E310) that is recognized automatically when attached. At first I was pleased since it appeared to work "out of the box" after setting up a rudimentary printcap file. Although after some extended usage (more than one print request) the thing causes my computer to shut down. My system seems to lock up and then a second later it goes down. The printer does appear to require a lot of power as my office lights blink when the thing is on. Nevertheless, my computer is connected to an APC/UPS which should guarrantee correct reliable power. Occasionally when a print request is sent I receive a message in my /var/log/messages file (see first message in list below). kernel: usbd_setup_pipe: failed to start endpoint, IOERROR last message repeated 2 times kernel: ulpt0: at uhub0 port 4 (addr 2) disconnected kernel: ulpt0: detached kernel: uhub0: port 4, set config at addr 2 failed kernel: uhub0: device problem (IOERROR), disabling port 4 lpd[820]: /dev/ulpt0: No such file or directory kernel: ulpt0: Lexmark International, Inc. Lexmark Optra E310, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 2, iclass 7/1 kernel: ulpt0: using bi-directional mode kernel: usbd_setup_pipe: failed to start endpoint, IOERROR lpd[974]: lp: job could not be printed (cfA046sonata) kernel: ulpt0: at uhub0 port 4 (addr 2) disconnected * kernel: ulpt0: detached (turned off my printer here and then turned it back on a few seconds later) kernel: ulpt0: Lexmark International, Inc. Lexmark Optra E310, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 2, iclass 7/1 kernel: ulpt0: using bi-directional mode kernel: ulpt0: at uhub0 port 4 (addr 2) disconnected * kernel: ulpt0: detached (turned off my printer here and then turned it back on a few seconds later) kernel: ulpt0: Lexmark International, Inc. Lexmark Optra E310, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 2, iclass 7/1 kernel: ulpt0: using bi-directional mode kernel: usbd_setup_pipe: failed to start endpoint, IOERROR Then the system rebooted. Another issue is when I send a print request either a) nothing happens (maybe a log message is generated) or b) paper comes out with this at top left corner: "s: 1" I can get more info (especially a more accurate sequence of events:logs) if anyone thinks they can help.
