Sure ... Acording to your mail, you seem to be using hplip as a back end ... [gonzalo@inferna ~]% pkg_info -W /usr/local/bin/hpijs /usr/local/bin/hpijs was installed by package hplip-2.8.2_3 [gonzalo@inferna ~]% Its all there in hplip's installation notes... you need hpssd up and running and the printer should be attached to ugen ... hplip doesn't work with ulpt .. [gonzalo@inferna ~]% pkg_info -xD hplip Information for hplip-2.8.2_3: Install notice: ********************************************************** **************** UPGRADE FROM 1.X NOTICE ***************** NOTE: If you are upgrading from 1.x you will need to change your devfs ruleset as hpiod is now gone, so remove it from you rc.conf. The printer communication now runs through cupsd. You will need to make the devfs ruleset changes to allow cups to access the usb bus and ugen devices so that it can enumerate the printers. You will also need to update your hplip.conf. See the instructions below. **************** UPGRADE FROM 1.X NOTICE ***************** Add the following to your rc.conf: hpssd_enable="YES" So all you have to do if you have a custom ruleset setup is add the following to that ruleset in devfs.rules: add path 'usb*' group cups add path 'usb*' mode 0660 add path 'ugen*' group cups add path 'ugen*' mode 0660 If you have never setup devfs.rules please read the manpage and see: http://am-productions.biz/docs/devfs.rules.php The printer MUST attach as a ugen(4) device. This means that you must NOT have "device ulpt" in your kernel and ulpt must NOT be loaded as a kernel module. If you are seeing device connection errors restart the printing chain with the following command. NOTE: It MUST be restarted in the stated order. %%PREFIX%%/etc/rc.d/hpssd restart && \ %%PREFIX%%/etc/rc.d/cupsd restart If upgrading from a version < 2.7.9 copy the new hplip.conf.sample config. cp %%PREFIX%%/etc/hp/hplip.conf.sample \ %%PREFIX%%/etc/hp/hplip.conf If you are still having problems check: http://am-productions.biz/docs/hplip.php If you are still having problems send the relevant part of your /var/log/messages, console output from the hp-* utility that you are trying to run, and your rc.conf + devfs.rules files and the output of "ls -l /dev" to the maintainer. ********************************************************** [gonzalo@inferna ~]% I've written a small guide on how to set up a printer using cups and hplip in f reebsd 7.0 rel, but it is witten in spanish .. anyway ... i still think it might help you out .. you can find it in here: http://www.penguinpower.com.ar/foro/viewtopic.php?t=3019 Good luck! -- Blessings Gonzalo Nemmi
