Hello,

I bought this device now and it attaches as:

Jun  1 11:02:12 La-Habana kernel: ugen1.2: <Prlific Technology Inc.> at usbus1
Jun  1 11:02:12 La-Habana kernel: ulpt0: <Prlific Technology Inc.  IEEE-1284 Controller, class 0/0, rev 1.00/2.00, addr 2> on usbus1
Jun  1 11:02:12 La-Habana kernel: ulpt0: using bi-directional mode

# usbconfig -u 1 -a 2 dump_device_desc
ugen1.2: <IEEE-1284 Controller Prlific Technology Inc.> at usbus1, cfg=0
md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=ON (100mA)

  bLength = 0x0012 
  bDescriptorType = 0x0001 
  bcdUSB = 0x0100 
  bDeviceClass = 0x0000 
  bDeviceSubClass = 0x0000 
  bDeviceProtocol = 0x0000 
  bMaxPacketSize0 = 0x0008 
  idVendor = 0x067b 
  idProduct = 0x2305 
  bcdDevice = 0x0200 
  iManufacturer = 0x0001  <Prlific Technology Inc.>
  iProduct = 0x0002  <IEEE-1284 Controller>
  iSerialNumber = 0x0000  <no string>
  bNumConfigurations = 0x0001 

# uname -a
FreeBSD La-Habana 10.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT #0 r250588M: Sat Jun
22 14:15:48 CEST 2013...


but I can not send data to the device:

# cat Pango/my1st.ps > /dev/ulpt0
cat: stdout: Input/output error
# cat Pango/my1st.ps > /dev/unlpt0
cat: stdout: Input/output error

Any ideas?

	matthias
