>Number: 13021 >Category: i386 >Synopsis: Parallel port printer driver is flaky >Confidential: no >Severity: serious >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Sat Aug 7 22:50:00 PDT 1999 >Closed-Date: >Last-Modified: >Originator: George Mitchell >Release: FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE i386 >Organization: Mitchell Voting Products, Inc. >Environment: Pentium 166 Parallel port on ASUS TXP4 motherboard Hewlett-Packard DeskJet 500C >Description: Graphical output, such as from ghostscript, works briefly (for about 1/4 inch of output), then printer drops back into text mode as if reset by the parallel port, and the remainder of the output consists of random garbage. Problem appeared when I upgraded from FreeBSD 2.2.7 to FreeBSD 3.2. I tried to configure the deprecated olpt device, but it is not there (despite a reference to it in the LINT system configuration file). >How-To-Repeat: Send output from ghostscript to a non-PostScript printer without a page buffer (such as a DeskJet) on a parallel port. >Fix: I wish I knew. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
