If the printer works with FreeBSD on the parallel port, it's clearly not a winprinter. That's a lot more useful information than that it works on some other OS. > The problem is clearly that FreeBSD doesn't like VIA's UHCI USB > implementation. I'll send in a PR. Seems to work fine here: uhci0: <VIA 83C572 USB controller> port 0xe400-0xe41f irq 10 at device 7.2 on pci0 usb0: <VIA 83C572 USB controller> on uhci0 usb0: USB revision 1.0 uhub0: VIA UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub0: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered ugen0: Diamond Multimedia Systems, Inc. SupraExpress 56e USB V.90, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 2 ulpt0: Belkin Components (2nd) F5U002 Parallel printer adapter, rev 1.00/1.04, addr 3, iclass 7/1 xl0: <3Com 3c905B-TX Fast Etherlink XL> port 0xe800-0xe87f mem 0xeb000000-0xeb00007f irq 5 at device 10.0 on pci0 The modem doesn't get much use, but works fine dialing into shell logins. I moved the printer to this test system, and doing "cat stuff.ps > /dev/ulpt0" worked just fine. Either the Lexmark USB lpt implementation is crocked, or something else in the system is causing problems. Have you got another USB device you can test with? <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
