Hello everybody, I'm experiencing certain problems with USB printing. I have a Minolta PagePro 1300W printer connected to USB port. FreeBSD 5.3 recognizes the printer just fine and creates /dev/ulpt0 and /dev/unlpt0 device nodes. But the simple test like echo "test" > /dev/ulpt0 (or /dev/unlpt0) fails with the message "/dev/ulpt0: device busy". And, respectively, if simple tests fail, then the complicated printing via ghostscript -> filter -> driver also doesn't work. I suppose some program uses the device already, but I don't know what it can be - I'm not running lpd (device is busy either with lpd running or not). There isn't really much regarding this problem on the net. Usually people have their USB printers working. Any suggestions are appreciated. Eugene Rogoza
