Hi, I've tried a few times to get my Home FW / Download box to be a
print server with my Epson Stylux Photo R285 but each time I've tried
I've given up as i just couldn't figure how to get it all to work. It
seems really complicated and using Google to find tutorials hasn't helped.
I have been able to get cups installed and can see the web interface
before but I don't realy get any further than that.
1. For some reason cups couldn't find my usb printer. know matter what I
try. I though it might be permissions on the /dev/ file but am not sure.
I have managed in the past to spool text to the /dev/ulpt0/1 port and
make the printer print junk.
2. I think I need a driver to make it work but don't know where to get
the driver or where I should put it once I have it.
3. I don't know if I need a driver ? I just want machines on my network
(PC's and Kindle Tablet) to be able to print through it. I won't want
the OpenBSD box itself to print.
Hope what I am asking makes sense as I am properly confused now :>( and
Thanks for reading.
Thanks
Keith
