I'm running 2.2.7-RELEASE with ppbus on a Tecra 510CDT. The ppbus works fine with the vpo driver and my external Zip drive. However, I just added a new printer (Epson Stylus Color 800) which works fine on this hardware under Win95, but badly misbehaves with nlpt. If I run this command line: % echo -n '123^L' | lpr -lh I get a page that looks like this: +----------- | | 112233 | If I print a longer document, the printer gets a dozen or so bytes into the job and hangs. "ps -axl" shows the lpd process waiting on "nlptwr". Eventually lpd times out and dies, leaving the printer waiting for input. Comments? Suggestions? -Michael Robinson P.S. dmesg sez: ppc0 at 0x378 irq 7 on isa ppc0: Generic chipset (ECP/PS2/NIBBLE) in NIBBLE mode ppbus0: <unknown unknown> ppi0: <generic parallel i/o> on ppbus 0 nlpt0: <generic printer> on ppbus 0 nlpt0: Interrupt-driven port Probing vpo. vpo0: <Adaptec aic7110 scsi> on ppbus 0 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
