Hopefully someone here may be able to shed some light? I'm (now) running FreeBSD postie 4.10-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE #0: Tue May 25 22:47:12 GMT 2004 root@perseus.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 I got my Epson C66 Photo up and running using CUPS, ESP Ghostscript, and the gimp-print drivers (using C64 since C66 isn't listed explicitly). It all works and I exported it through Samba and printed successfully from a Windows box :-) Then I found that the Epson KOWA drivers were in the ports - print/pips-sc65_66s - so installed them as they are better drivers, changed the configuration in CUPS as per readme-sc65_66s-cups but the printer wouldn't work. I deleted the printer and re-added it from scratch but still it won't work. When I click Print Test Page in CUPS the printer head "shuffles" which shows there is some communication with the printer but it just shows "Processing..." for a while then the job appears under Completed Jobs with a status of "aborted". I've set CUPS to log at debug2 level but that doesn't show anything useful (to me anyway): D [06/Sep/2004:20:08:51 +0100] [Job 32] cups->ppd = 0x83f5400 D [06/Sep/2004:20:08:51 +0100] [Job 32] cups->ppd->flip_duplex = 0 D [06/Sep/2004:20:08:51 +0100] [Job 32] width = 827, height = 1039 D [06/Sep/2004:20:08:51 +0100] [Job 32] PageSize = [ 612 792 ], HWResolution = [ 100 100 ] D [06/Sep/2004:20:08:51 +0100] [Job 32] HWMargins = [ 8.400 35.400 8.400 8.400 ] D [06/Sep/2004:20:08:51 +0100] [Job 32] matrix = [ 1.389 0.000 0.000 -1.389 -11.667 1088.333 ] d [06/Sep/2004:20:08:51 +0100] PID 689 exited with no errors. d [06/Sep/2004:20:08:51 +0100] PID 690 exited with no errors.

The ekpstm program (Status Monitor) shows a "Communication Error" and the pips-sc65_66s program shows "Cannot communicate with a printer" on the Utility tab. Can anyone offer any help/advice on this please? BTW, the port appears to be missing a build dependency for autoconf253 - my build stopped part way through as it couldn't find /usr/local/bin/autoconf253. Thanks. Regards, Mark
