Greetings,
I installed hpoj from /usr/ports/graphics on FreeBSD 4.8-07272003-STABLE.
There are 2 problems with the BSD port:
1. The compile fails because pthread...etc symbols are undifeined.
So I edited /usr/ports/graphics/hpoj/work/hpoj-0.90/apps/xojpanel/Makefile
and prepended the LDFLAGS with
-lcipher -lc_r
and the linker succeeded.
2. Running the script
/usr/local/sbin/ptal-init setup
outputs the message:
Stopping the HP OfficeJet Linux driver.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This program manages devices controlled by the HP OfficeJet Linux
driver (hpoj). It attempts to probe your computer for local parallel-
and USB-connected devices, and allows you to specify network addresses
for remote JetDirect-connected devices.
If you experience any difficulties in detecting your device(s), then
refer to the hpoj documentation for troubleshooting information.

Well.... I have HP Officejet 5110xi on usb0.
FreeBSD detects it as
ugen0: Hewlett-Packard OfficeJet 5110xi, rev 1.10/1.00, addr 2
So, how do I make hpoj to be compiled with USB support on FreeBSD?
I tried running configure manually with
./configure --with-usb
and recompiled and reinstalled.
Still I got...
hpoj not compiled for USB support; skipping USB device probe.
So, I manualy edited the configure script and forced
USB_PLATFORM=FREEBSD
to be defined
and recompiled and resinstalled.
This time, the script only probled for ulpt devices.
Well, as I showed earlier, FreeBSD detects my device as
ugen0.
So I looked at the /usr/local/sbin/ptal-init script
to see how I can get it to look at ugen0:
my @usbWildcards=(
"/dev/usb/lp[0-9]*",
"/dev/usblp[0-9]*",
"/dev/ulpt[0-9]*"
);
so I modifed this as follows:
my @usbWildcards=(
"/dev/usb/lp[0-9]*",
"/dev/usblp[0-9]*",
"/dev/ulpt[0-9]*",
"/dev/ugen[0-9]*"
);
and re-ran the script. Still only ulpt devices were probed.
So I modified the script and removed ulpt[0-9] line
and left the ugen[0-9]* and reran the script:
Probing "/dev/ugen0"...
No device found.
Probing "/dev/ugen0.1"...
No device found.
Probing "/dev/ugen0.10"...
No device found.
Probing "/dev/ugen0.11"...
No device found.
Probing "/dev/ugen0.12"...
No device found.
Probing "/dev/ugen0.13"...
No device found.
Probing "/dev/ugen0.14"...
No device found.
Probing "/dev/ugen0.15"...
No device found.
Probing "/dev/ugen0.2"...
No device found.
Probing "/dev/ugen0.3"...
No device found.
Probing "/dev/ugen0.4"...
No device found.
Probing "/dev/ugen0.5"...
No device found.
Probing "/dev/ugen0.6"...
No device found.
Probing "/dev/ugen0.7"...
No device found.
Probing "/dev/ugen0.8"...
No device found.
Probing "/dev/ugen0.9"...
No device found.
As I said earlier, FreBSD detects this printer as
ugen0: Hewlett-Packard OfficeJet 5110xi, rev 1.10/1.00, addr 2
So, hpoj was unable to proble for it.
Regards,
Joe
