I am trying to get an Epson printer working, without a spooler (preferably).
Just redirecting text to /dev/ulpt0 works. So it's a matter of using the right filter now. I have installed foomatic4-db which gives me the required file in xml form: /usr/pkg/share/foomatic/db/source/printer/Epson-L210_Series.xml I am looking for a way to convert it to ppd, so that I can use it with foomatic-rip. I am not sure what the right command for xml to ppd is, but trying as described here: http://www.openunix.eu/open-print.php I find that any foomatic-ppd command results in the following error: # foomatic-ppdfile list [1] Abort trap (core dumped) /usr/pkg/bin/foo... | Done(1) /usr/pkg/bin/foo... Could not run "foomatic-combo-xml"/"foomatic-perl-data"! Is above the right way to get a ppd? Does above error appear to be some system configuration problem? I am using NetBSD 8.0_RC1 amd64 Xen Dom0. Mayuresh
