Hi, I've installed cups-base and have followed the instructions on the pkg-message. Currently the permissions appear correct: ~,6:50pm# ls -l /dev/unlpt0 crw-rw---- 1 cups cups 0x74 2 Feb 18:16 /dev/unlpt0 I have verified that the "cups" user can print to the file by: # su -m cups % date > /dev/unlpt0 The contents of /usr/local/etc/cups/printer.conf are: # Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.5.4 # Written by cupsd on 2014-02-02 18:47 # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE WHEN CUPSD IS RUNNING <Printer BrotherHL-5340D> UUID urn:uuid:86ecde22-e8f2-383c-6a46-5442583f76de Info Brother Laser Printer Location Home MakeModel Brother HL-5340D BR-Script3 DeviceURI usb:/dev/unlpt0 State Idle StateTime 1391319777 Type 8433748 Accepting Yes Shared No JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 OpPolicy default ErrorPolicy stop-printer </Printer> However, when I attempt to print a test-page, the Job stalls and the printer reports: Processing - "Waiting for printer to become available." The error logs are equally uninformative: I [02/Feb/2014:18:53:07 +1300] [Job 364] Waiting for printer to become available. D [02/Feb/2014:18:53:12 +1300] [Job 364] libusb_get_device_list=1 ... What have I missed? Cheers. -- Jonathan Chen <jonc@chen.org.nz>
