Hello,

My boss ordered a Canon LBP-660 printer for our new office. This thing
seems to be a Winprinter (That's what it claims on the box). Trying to
print under dos gives a timeout error on lpt. So i thought it would be
impossible to use it under BSD. I ran BSD with the printer attached and
then on dmesg, saw the following :

ppc0 at 0x378 irq 7 flags 0x40 on isa
ppc0: Generic chipset (EPP/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode
ppb0: IEEE1284 device found /NIBBLE/ECP/ECP_RLE
Probing for PnP devices on ppbus0:
ppbus0: <Canon LBP-660  /1010.11> PRINTER RASTER
lpt0: <generic printer> on ppbus 0
lpt0: Interrupt-driven port


Does this sequence mean it would be possible to use this printer with
BSD or not. If yes any refs are welcome.

Regards

Eric
