Just recently I've started having a problem with my HP 5N it was printing fine. Now, whatever I do lpt0 shows "device busy". I've googled reinstalled apsfilter and put the printer through all the self tests (passed) and verified there's nothing in the printer's memory. I've rebuilt userland and kernel. Even tried cups and anything sent to /dev/lpt0 returns that error. dmesg: ppc1: <NetMos NM9805 1284 Printer port> port 0xe800-0xe807,0xe400-0xe407,0xe000-0xe007,0xd800-0xd807,0xd400-0xd407,0xd000-0xd00f irq 21 at device 3.0 on pci3 ppc1: Generic chipset (EPP/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode ppc1: [ITHREAD] ppbus0: <Parallel port bus> on ppc1 ppbus0: IEEE1284 device found /NIBBLE/ECP/ECP_RLE ppbus0: Probing for PnP devices: ppbus0: <Hewlett-Packard HP LaserJet 5> PJL,MLC,PCL,PCLXL lpt0: <Printer> on ppbus0 lpt0: [ITHREAD] lpt0: Interrupt-driven port ppi0: <Parallel I/O> on ppbus0 uname: FreeBSD pinnacle.akherb.com 8.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT #70: Mon Feb 2 03:17:26 AKST 2009 root@pinnacle.akherb.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/PINNACLE i386 fstat /dev/lpt0 and fstat /pt0.ctl show nothing. Ant attempt at changing settings with lptcontrol also result in a "device busy" error. pinnacle# lptcontrol -p -d /dev/lpt0.ctl lptcontrol: open: Device busy I'm totally at a loss to figure out what's changed does anyone have any suggestions? I really need to get this working.
