Hello there, I'm trying to get a Dell 720 USB inkjet printer working on FreeBSD, but don't have much success. The printer can be made to work on Linux using a Lexmark z600 driver for CUPS, which is a Linux binary and an accompanying .ppd-file. Using the Linux binary on FreeBSD doesn't seem to work: the printing process stalls and can't be killed (hangs in 'D'/uninterruptable-state after a SIGKILL). I've recompiled a kernel with USB_DEBUG turned on and got the following debugging output (hw.usb.debug=1, hw.usb.ulpt.debug=1, hw.usb.uhub.debug=1): uhub_explore: status change hub=1 port=2 usbd_new_device bus=0xc22a9000 port=2 depth=1 speed=2 usbd_new_device: adding unit addr=3, rev=200, class=0, subclass=0, protocol=0, maxpacket=8, len=18, speed=2 usbd_new_device: new dev (addr 3), dev=0xc2c45c00, parent=0xc2360900 usbd_probe_and_attach: trying device specific drivers usbd_probe_and_attach: no device specific driver found usbd_probe_and_attach: looping over 1 configurations usbd_set_config_index: status=0x0001, error=NORMAL_COMPLETION usbd_set_config_index: (addr 1) cno=3 attr=0xc0, selfpowered=1, power=4 usbd_set_config_index: set config 1 ulpt0: Dell Dell Photo Printer 720, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 3, iclass 7/1 ulpt0: using bi-directional mode ulptopen: flags=0x0 usbd_do_request: status = 0x0000 ulpt_open: open input pipe ulpt_open: start read callout ulptopen: done, error=0 ulptread usbd_bulk_transfer: error=13 ulptread: error=13 ulptread This is after a clean boot with the printer detached, then turning debugging on, attaching the printer and starting a print job. After trying to kill the process, the following is logged: usbd_bulk_transfer: tsleep=-1 Can anyone shed some light on this? Can /dev/ulpt* be used with Linux binaries at all, or should I write a wrapper or such? -- Pieter
