Mine CS4236, is not listed in that file as well, but it works.

We are about to switch to Gigabit Ethernet in a while, and thus the Duron 700, which currently does traffic accounting with 2 fxp cards very well, will have to be replaced with a box that is able to handle that. We thought about some big machine with 64bit/66 MHz PCI slots, but are not sure about the hardware yet. I wondered if anyone is doing that? I'm also interested in stats, if you only do routing w/o firewalling/packet filtering, or similar. What hardware are you using? What's the throughout you reach over that box? We would be happy to reach 500Mbit/s full-duplex :) Any hints on hardware? Chipsets? CPUs?

Instead of PCL it supports the ZJ-Stream format, which seems to be used by HP LJ 1200 internally. Through many hints on linuxprinting.org, this printer works very well under linux now, although it has no firmware onboard. This is because I have to download the printer firmware everytime, I switch it on again. The printer is detected by FreeBSD correctly, similiar to Linux and attached as /dev/ulpt0 (FreeBSD 4.7). Under Linux I'm able to download the firmware through a simple: cat > /dev/usb/lp0 after switching it on. Under FreeBSD I get an Input/Output error when doing it. If I downloaded the firmware under Linux, I'm able to print under FreeBSD! In past I tried to develop a flash program for this printer under freebsd, because also Linux had problems cat'ting the old firmware. Now there is a new firmware, which works perfectly under linux. But I want to use this printer under freebsd - my favorite os, so I tried to get an USB sniffer for FreeBSD. I found on the FreeBSD USB site a tool called usb_dump.c, which is very old, but I patched it to compile (this tool was of a time, where the usb subsystem structs defined in usb.h didn't had prefixes like uXY_). But this tool is not useable to determine, whats going wrong under FreeBSD while trying to cat the printer image to the printer. I asked you a while ago the same, but I'd no success yet. Any hints?

Because of copyright violation noted by EPkowa co.. I have an older version of pips-sc880 but no way to get my printer printing (it just reacts by a little noise and movement when requested). Do you know of any other driver that could do ?

I'd like to have one printer for both machines on my little lan so it does'nt matter for me which one. Darwin is worse in configuration since it's not really possible (at my level at least) to add devices to /dev, and I've not been able either to configure cups to do the trick (it seems impossible to get the mac OSX Epson driver to work with cups). I may be really dummy but I find no way to use it as an lp printer. On FreeBSD, the problem seems to be the pips sc880 driver: it is not made for this systems and it shows. No way to install it correctly. As I spent weeks in trying several options - and the rest of my system and peripherals work fine - I conclude that maybe my lack of knowledge is not the only issue - but couldn't prove it! If someone had experience with this specific printer on FreeBSD I would be delighted to learn from she or him. If it may help, I can tell you that the printer is answering when installed with apsfilter, I see the light flashing, noise and movement but it stops before printing. So in my opinion it's a driver question. Any other idea? Best regards Barney Wolff wrote: >I have an HP 990C usb working fine with apsfilter. I would expect >any of the deskjets to work.
