I was able to successfully get this to work. But had to spend a bit of time to modify the makefile, configure, configure.batch scripts so the drivers would actually build. I was wondering oh what the possibility of adding the bjc250gs driver as a build option to the port. As this may help save a considerable amount of time and headaches for the next person with a similar printer. I can provide a patch of Makefiles and scripts that I changed to get this to happened Regards Russell Clarke To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
