hi all, =20 I'm having no luck in getting a cheap HP printer - DeskJet 3940 - to work with FreeBSD 8. It shows up as connected to ulpt0, but won't respond to lp / lpr even with appropriate printcap settings. =20 I'm guessing that the fact that I can't # cat file > /dev/ulpt0 has something to do with it, perhaps the printer requires a filter to print anything. =20 At a pinch, I'll go down the HPLIP route - CUPS on its own didn't work, even with a ulpt-less kernel - but I only want to print plain text files! =20 thanks for any ideas you may have, =20 Steve -------- =20 <mailto:Steve.Brownjohn@Hackney.gov.uk>=20 =20 Hackney Council may exercise its right to intercept any communication, the = only exception to this would be confidential survey data, with any employee= or agent of the Council using its telephony or data networks.
