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.
