I was told that the easiest way would be to get a USB->Parallel cable and to use the ulpt driver. 1. I reconfigured the kernel with USB support 2. Connected the cable and I get the following during boot: Jun 6 00:03:56 edge /kernel: ugen0: vendor 0x05e3 product 0x0300, rev 1.00/0.02, addr 2 3. I edited the /etc/usbd.conf file to have: device "USB Printer" vendor 0x05e3 product 0x0300 release 0x0002 devname "ulpt[0-9]+" 4. Edited /etc/printcap to use the /dev/ulpt0 device on my printer Anything else? Do I have to edit the /usr/src/sys/ucb/usbdevs file so that it will correctly probe the device at boot time? johnl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
