It worked fine with 3.4 via lpd, so I probably have a configuration error I can't see. When I boot 4.2, FreeBSD's tickling of the printer kicks out a blank page for some reason, and printing results in "Device busy". I suspect the fact that 4.2 doesn't detect my ppbus chipset correctly is relevent (3.4 did). It also doesn't identify my printer whereas it did before. Any suggestions? > lptest > /dev/lpt0 /dev/lpt0: Device busy. I have: device ppc0 at isa? port 0x3BC irq 7 device ppc1 at isa? port 0x378 device ppbus device lpt device ppi in my kernel config, and my 4.2 printer boot-up messages are: ppc0: at port 0x3bc-0x3bf irq 7 on isa0 ppc0: SMC-like chipset (ECP/EPP/PS2/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode lpt0: on ppbus0 lpt0: Interrupt-driven port ppi0: on ppbus0 Note that the lpt0 message do not appear if the print is off. Note also that there is nothing in these probes about the printer detected, despite that it was on when I boot. In FreeBSD 3.4 (also on my system right now), I get these boot-up messages: ppc0 at 0x3bc irq 7 on isa ppc0: W83877F chipset (ECP/EPP/PS2/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode ppc0: FIFO with 16/16/16 bytes threshold ppb0: IEEE1284 device found /NIBBLE Probing for PnP devices on ppbus0: ppbus0: HP ENHANCED PCL5,PJL lpt0: on ppbus 0 lpt0: Interrupt-driven port ppc1 not found at 0x378 and my 3.4 kernel config has: device ppc0 at isa? port "0x3BC" tty irq 7 device ppc1 at isa? port "0x378" tty controller ppbus0 device lpt0 at ppbus? device lpt1 at ppbus? I've tried various tweaks to my 4.2 kernel without success. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks, Randall __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
