Since we are on the topic, I was wondering if it is at all possible to get a HP
7xx series deskjet printer to work in FreeBSD. I know that a similar thread went
around several months ago and the common reply was no. However after installing
FreeBSD 3.1 the dmesg output gave me some hope.
dmesg:
ppc0 at 0x378 irq 7 on isa
ppc0: Generic chipset (NIBBLE-only) in COMPATIBLE mode
ppb0: IEEE1284 device found /NIBBLE/ECP
Probing for PnP devices on ppbus0:
ppbus0: <HEWLETT-PACKARD DESKJET 710C> SCP,VLINK
nlpt0: <generic printer> on ppbus 0
nlpt0: Interrupt-driven port
ppi0: <generic parallel i/o> on ppbus 0
plip0: <PLIP network interface> on ppbus 0
Is this anything to get excited about or should I look for a new printer?
Thanks for the time,
Rocky Hays
