I have an USB printer at /dev/ulpt0, dmesg say: ulpt0: Lexmark 730 Series, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 2, iclass 7/1 ulpt0: using bi-directional mode CUPS is not installed and i am trying make printer work with the native BSD printing system. This is what have my /etc/printcap file: lp|local printer:\ :sh:\ :lp=/dev/ulpt0:sd=/var/spool/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs: And this is 'ls -l /var/spool/lpd' -rw-rw-r-- 1 root daemon 37 Mar 14 19:55 lock -rw-rw-r-- 1 root daemon 25 Mar 14 19:55 status I don't get printer work. Command 'lp file.txt' don't return any output, 'cat file.txt > /dev/ulpt0' don't return any output. Command 'cat /var/spool/lpd/status' output is: lp is ready and printing and this can indicate the configuration is well done. lpd is run... I am thinking about if the cause of this problem can be the native BSD printing system can't manage USB printers, so my concrete question to the list is: Can be used the BSD lpd with USB printers?. Thanks you very much, in advance. Regards. Jose. -- http://www.lordofunix.org/ Not Registered GNU/Hurd User. Registered BSD User 51101. Registered Linux User #213309. Memories.....
