Here's a hack Jan-Espen Pettersen (sigsegv@radiotube.org) posted on FreeBSD-Questions which solved the problem: ---- START I found that the usb backend stalled here before actually doing any work. Before I've done any actual debugging of the backend, I suspect that it is being blocked on a status read attempt, though this is only my current guess. Here is a workaround: In printers.conf () you will probably find a line like this: DeviceURI usb:/dev/ulpt0 change usb: to file:, so that it looks something like this: DeviceURI file:/dev/ulpt0 Then restart cups. Cups will not read any status information from the printer, but at least it can print. Be warned about unknown side effects. :) ---- END Nicolas -- FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT #4: Sun Jun 25 12:13:31 EDT 2006 root@clk01a:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CLK01A PGP? : http://www.clkroot.net/security/nb_root.asc
