You may have the permissions-related problem described here: http://farid.hajji.name/blog/2010/02/02/printing-woes-on-freebsd-8-with-cup= s/ Regards, -cpghost. --=20 Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ =A0 Thanks, that's some very useful information but alas it did not help me. Af= ter further testing here is what I can say: 1. The ugen device does not show up in dmesg. 2. The ulpt0 device does show up and it clearly identifies the Brother-HL-2= 040 printer on the other end of the USB cable. =A0 #=A0dmesg | grep ulpt ulpt0: on uhub0 ulpt0: using bi-directional mode 3, I=A0edited /etc/devfs.rules as instructed and restarted the service. I t= hen restarted cupsd. Nothing changed. I cold booted the entire setup but st= ill cupd web interface will not find the printer. If I manually enter the p= rinter and then install a ppd file for it I still get nothing to print. =A0 This printer worked fine when I was using lpd and a parallel port. Also the= apsfilter port is broken which makes it more difficult for a novice like m= e to get the correct setting for it with lpr method. So I was really lookin= g forward to getting cupsd working this time round. =A0 Any additional advice would be appreciated. =A0=0A=0A=0A
