Hi, BSD'ers,
We're just getting a new office set up, and have decided that FreeBSD is
going everywhere. The one major stumbling block that I've encountered is
printing. We've got a Brother MFC-8600 hooked up via USB to a FreeBSD
4.2-STABLE machine. The USB controller is a VIA 83C572 built into the
motherboard. I've installed and configured CUPS without requiring the
sacrifice of any virgins, and lo and behold: I can print ... once. If I try
and print a second time, CUPS sits there doing this:
Brother is ready and printing
dan: active [job 24 localhost]
DAN.bW9450 177152 bytes
Except that if I go to the CUPS web admin interface and check out the
status for the printer, I get a debug message from the USB backend to CUPS:
"USB port busy; will retry in 30 seconds..."
The wacky part is that I had originally tried this over parallel, and
got exactly the same problem. I could print fine once, but the second time,
/dev/lpt0 would read busy.
Yes, I'm aware that we should have bought an HP and that I'd probably
not be having any of these problems, but I've already shot myself in the
foot, so does anybody have a band-aid for it?
Thanks muchly in advance.
