I've got my printer to finally work, now that I got around to hooking it up again and trying. It's a Kodak AiO, and there's a driver that's been around for a few years and works under Linux. It doesn't work properly under FreeBSD, or a Debian/kFreeBSD jail, but does work under a Linux jail. With FreeBSD, the best I'd get is one document and then need to power cycle the printer to get it to do anything. From what I remember of the logs, the communication wasn't coming back properly. Cups is reporting it's not getting bidirectional communication, but it is mostly printing properly. Since it works under the Linux jail, and not the Debian jail, I'm assuming it has to be a FreeBSD kernel issue that's masked by the Linux overhead. But where would I begin to troubleshoot the underlying issue? Right now I'm running a -CURRENT kernel: FreeBSD jri.homeunix.com 10.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT #15 r249169M: Fri Apr 5 16:12:04 CDT 2013 root@jri.homeunix.com:/usr/obj/root/ATH/head/sys/ATH amd64 Any help would be appreciated.
