Searching through the cups mailing list at http://www.cups.org/newsgroups.php (cups.general newsgroup and searching for FreeBSD) I got the following information: "Nonsense, under FreeBSD there are *no* parallel port options. > Unless you want to print through a serial port CUPS is useless as a print > service." Is this true? I can't believe it, but it would explain why I don't get CUPS working and why I get the error stdout broken in my errorlog. If true can someone tell me what alternatives I have to make my printer working, I don't want to buy a new one, and sure not one for my serial port. When not true can someone tell me what the probem is and how to solve it. I want to make use of CUPS, cupsomatic (as described at linuxprinting.org) and pnm2ppa (to support my HP DeskJet 710c) I use the method as described at linuxprinting.org where I make the following adjustments to the cupsomatic file: my $enscriptcommand = "enscript" << does it may need some parameters>> my $myecho = 'cupsecho' my $debug=1 I removed the # at the line starting with #$ENV{'PATH"}=.... I installed pnm2ppa from the ports. my ppd line contains the following indentifiing line: *NickName: "HP DeskJet 710C, Foomatic + pnm2ppa" When installing enscript-a4 from the ports it said that the spooler was set to lpr. Is this maybe part of the problem? I have no clue how to change it and to what! Below is the content of the debug file. I see the following problems: Perl is making some problems about locales. Don't what it is, but I don't expect it to be the problem. cat: stdout: Broken pipe this sounds like the serious trouble for me. Further I placed a small script in the /bin file with the name cupsecho to ensure cupsomatic would use the sh echo, instead of the csh or FreeBSD echo, wich support the -e option. #!/bin/sh echo * Simon Siemonsma Cupsomatic backend version $Revision: 1.12 $ running... called with arguments: '8','root','Test Page','1','' ppd=/usr/local/etc/cups/ppd/HP_DeskJet_710C.ppd Default for option PrinterModel is DJ710C Default for option pnmFormat is PixMap Default for option BottomMargin is 150 Default for option TopMargin is 10 Default for option YOffset is 50 Default for option PrintingMode is ColorNormal Default for option Blackness is 2 Default for option XOffset is 160 Default for option RightMargin is 10 Default for option DisableColorCorrection is 0 Default for option Unidirectional is 0 Default for option LeftMargin is 10 Default for option PageSize is Letter Seaerching job for option settings ...
