--==_Exmh_1668187728P Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hi, Another printing problem. I have a NewGen printer that has a network port. I have configured the printer with an IP address and the correct netmask for my network. I can ping the printer and it responds. Unfortunately, I don't belive that the printer supports 'lpd' style printing, at least I cannot find any where in the menu to configure queues, etc. In the FreeBSD handbook is a perl script that can be used to do network printing, but it requires a port number to use. Does anyone know if there is a standard port that I can use to print to or any way of determining the port to print to. I have used Brian Somers program 'tcpchat' to try and telnet to every port from 1 to 32000, but got no response from any port. The printer works fantastically via the parallel port. I cannot get any information from the company as they have been bought out and and no longer sell printers. I have tried emailing them with no response and of course I got no documentation with the printer. Much thanks. David. --==_Exmh_1668187728P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: Exmh version 2.3.1 01/18/2001 iD8DBQE6xhcPiTCzTVFwd6wRAuNeAKC7iyQ/hDgWeGe0VOUwiIq8IzgniQCfQM3P NK0PWTOyttKmxhoviIvdSu8= =DwKV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1668187728P-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
