I have a FreeBSD 4.0 server and I need to add a second parallel
printer. I was told that the easiest way would be to get a
USB->Parallel cable and to use the ulpt driver.
1. I reconfigured the kernel with USB support
2. Connected the cable and I get the following during boot:
Jun 6 00:03:56 edge /kernel: ugen0: vendor 0x05e3 product 0x0300, rev
1.00/0.02, addr 2
3. I edited the /etc/usbd.conf file to have:
device "USB Printer"
vendor 0x05e3
product 0x0300
release 0x0002
devname "ulpt[0-9]+"
4. Edited /etc/printcap to use the /dev/ulpt0 device on my printer
Anything else? Do I have to edit the /usr/src/sys/ucb/usbdevs file so
that it will correctly probe the device at boot time?
