I have access to the parallel port once again under cups. and I didn't know about the script, in the past i had started cups via just running 'cupsd' I had to reinstall gimp-print manually as the freebsd port's version doesn't appear to install any drivers..not a big deal, after another hour or so of compiling my printer is fully functional again(after about 3 weeks of downtime), i printed a testpage from cups and a document from staroffice 6(remote from my test suse workstation over lpr) and it came out great! thanks a lot! I was losing hope there for a while fearing a parallel port failure or something similar. (big sigh of relief) thanks again!! nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
