Hi I'm trying to print using cups 1.3.10 on FreeBSD 7.2 on a Epson Stylus Photo R800 printer. It prints garbage! That is, it print some series of characters.
My first question is, does cups work on FreeBSD to print? Here is my side information: pkg_info | grep cups cups-base-1.3.10_4 Common UNIX Printing System: Server cups-client-1.3.10_4 Common UNIX Printing System: Library cups cups-image-1.3.10_4 Common UNIX Printing System: Library cupsimage cups-pstoraster-8.15.4_4 Postscript interpreter for CUPS printing to non-PS printers gutenprint-cups-5.1.7_4 GutenPrint Printer Driver pkg_info | grep foomatic foomatic-db-20090530 Foomatic database foomatic-db-engine-4.0.1,2 Foomatic database engine gutenprint-foomatic-5.1.7_2 GutenPrint Printer Driver I have followed this for cups configuration: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/cups/printing-cups-configuring-server.html ls -l /dev/unlpt0 crw-rw---- 1 root cups 0, 155 Nov 26 12:23 /dev/unlpt0 ls -l /dev/ulpt0 crw-rw---- 1 root cups 0, 154 Nov 26 12:23 /dev/ulpt0 I don't have /dev/lpt* . I'm a member of cups group. I'm using KDE 3.5.10. I have used KDE printer manager to print a test page after setting up the printer. So what other configurations do I need to do on FreeBSD to get the printing working?
