Hi, I'm using RELENG_4 from a couple of days ago and trying to drive my new toy - an HP Laserjet 2550L colour printer via the USB2 port on my Asus A7V333 motherboard. The printer has PCL6 and PostScript 3 support, so I'm using it as a PostScript printer. It /nearly/ works. The first job to the printer prints fine (and quickly) but the data transfer light keeps flashing and the printer will not print anything else until a timeout passes, at which point there's a small clunk from the printer and it will take one more job. In the interevening period it swallows all the data sent to it but never prints anything. When connected to the parallel port the printer works fine, although the data transfer light keeps flashing after the job has been sent. If I can get the USB2 interface going properly I would be happier, even with ECP/EPP large print jobs are slow to transfer. The ehci bits of dmesg are: ehci0: <EHCI (generic) USB 2.0 controller> mem 0xd5000000-0xd50000ff irq 10 at d evice 9.2 on pci0 ehci_pci_attach: companion usb0 ehci_pci_attach: companion usb1 usb2: EHCI version 0.95 usb2: companion controllers, 2 ports each: usb0 usb1 usb2: <EHCI (generic) USB 2.0 controller> on ehci0 usb2: USB revision 2.0 uhub2: (0x1106) EHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub2: 4 ports with 4 removable, self powered -- C:>WIN | Solar Thermal Systems The computer obeys and wins. | http://www.soleire.com/ You lose and Bill collects. | Directable Mirror Arrays | http://www.sohara.org/
