Hm Excuse my for my previous post, read down/top instead top/down, Stephen, Perhaps try searching google for similiar options, then try figuring out stuff yourself, and THEN ask us how it works, it gives great education for yourself also ;) Cheers -- Kind regards, Remko Lodder Elvandar.org/DSINet.org www.mostly-harmless.nl Dutch community for helping newcomers on the hackerscene mrtg.grunn.org Dutch mirror of MRTG -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]Namens Stephen Liu Verzonden: maandag 8 maart 2004 16:40 Aan: Kris Kennaway CC: questions@freebsd.org Onderwerp: Re: MAKEDEV question - snip - > > # grep ppc0 /var/run/dmesg.boot > > ppc0 port 0x778-0x77b,0x378-0x37f irq 7 drq 3 on acpi0 > > ppc0: SMC-like chipset (ECP/EPP/PS2/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode > > ppc0: FIFO with 16/16/7 bytes threshold > > ppbus0: <Parallel port bus> on ppc0 > > > > I suppose lpt0 is supported. > > If your kernel detects it it will be listed in the dmesg: > > lpt0: <Printer> on ppbus0 > lpt0: Interrupt-driven port Hi Kris, Turned on printer to make following tests # dmesg ..... ppbus0: <HEWLETT-PACKARD DESKJET 690C> MLC,PCL,PML plip0: <PLIP network interface> on ppbus0 lpt0: <Printer> on ppbus0 lpt0: Interrupt-driven port ppi0: <Parallel I/O> on ppbus0 ...... ls -l /dev/lpt0 crw------- 1 root wheel 16, 0 Mar 8 22:48 /dev/lpt0 It is there. I skipped following steps 1) # ./MAKEDEV port and 2) # lptcontrol -i -d /dev/lpt0 (to set interrupt-driven mode for lpt0) and 3) # lptcontrol -p -d /dev/lpt0 (to set polled-mode for lptN) Jumped to; # lptest > /dev/lpt0 only strange symbols printed and printing continued without stop until I removed the paper tray. Communication between printer and port seemed working Kindly advise how to fix the test printing error. TIA B.R.
