Hello ppl. After messing with the problem for about 1w, posting to some forums, and torture-interogating mister google I was unable to solve this particular matter. It's about a FreeBSD 7.1-STABLE box with cups and a Brother hl-2032 laser printer. I keep getting (in cups web interface and terminal) "printer busy". Tracing back my stept I remember that I managed to install the printer (with a ppd file for hl1240. driver seems to work with 2030 series) and print a test page from cups web interface. But to start from scrach. After plugins in the usb printer freebsd recognized it as /dev/ulpt0, root:operator own and 644 permisions. Afterwards I installed cups (from ports) modified the config file so it would allow acces from certain IP's, added the printer from the web interface and printed a test page. All worked out smoothly. Shuted down the pc(sleep time), and in the morning when I powered it up again cups had a little surprise for me, kept going on and on about "printer busy; will retry in 10 seconds". Like that wasn't enough doing echo "whatever" >> /dev/ulpt0 or /dev/lpt0 would also return with "printer busy" message. After 1 w or so, not managing to solve the problem, I deinstalled cups and all dependencies it installed originaly (this is why I didn't provide any conf file so far). Now I wan't to try again. So first of all let's rull out the firewall. I have pf built into my kernel (a generic kernel with pf, altq built-in and ISA, RAID, SCSI_DELAY, Firewire commented out; nopthing exotic;;also rebuilded the world) and this particular line in my pf.conf -> "pass in on $ext_if proto {tcp, udp} from 192.168.0.6 to any port {0:65535}". This alows full acces from 192.168.0.6 (my xp box) to the bsd box. Also tryed with pf disabled. Installed cups from ports with all options. Ended up with cups-1.3.9 and cups-base-1.3.9_3. Now the cups conf file: LogLevel info SystemGroup wheel # Allow remote access Port 631 Listen /var/run/cups.sock # Enable printer sharing and shared printers.

Again, doing echo from the terminal doesn't help. I'm really tired of this. If you have any ideas, do tell. thx
