cannot print in kde apps using lp
I posted about this about a month ago, thought i had it it figured out but I guess I fooled myself. I have kde 3.5.4 installed in fbsd6.1. I cannot print from kde applications, such as the printer control module, kpdf, etc. I can print just_fine from OO.o, Firefox and Adobe Reader 7. The error kde gives me is: usr/local/bin/lpr -P 'lp' '-#1' '/usr/local/share/apps/kdeprint/testprint.ps' : execution failed with message: /usr/local/bin/lpr: Connection refused I do have cups installed but it is not running or enabled. I dont understand why I can print from non-kde apps but not from kde apps. --Karl __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Parallel Port Printing Blues
I have a Freebsd 4.10-stable system that I am having problems getting parallel port printing to work on. The printer is an old HP DeskJet 820C Winprinter http://linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-DeskJet_820C that works well on the same box in Linux-Mandrake 10.0 Official. I have cups installed and running, have the ppd file from linuxprinting.org and can get onto the cups admin interface ok. I have configured the printer using both cups and apsfilter. and have gone through the printing section of the handbook, and Dru's recent article on unix printing on Onlamp.com. I've also searched and searched google and this mailing list, havent found anything yet. Also read Mike Lucas' article on apsfilter. The kernel detects the port and the printer fine. dmesg shows: ppc0: Parallel port at port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa0 ppc0: SMC-like chipset (ECP/EPP/PS2/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode ppc0: FIFO with 16/16/15 bytes threshold ppbus0: IEEE1284 device found /NIBBLE/ECP Probing for PnP devices on ppbus0: ppbus0: HEWLETT-PACKARD DESKJET 820C SCP,VLINK I've set the perms on the lpt0 to: crw-r-xr-x 1 root wheel 16, 0 Nov 15 21:27 /dev/lpt0 When printing a cups test page, nothing happens, meaning, no printing occurs. Cups shows the job aborted. the cups logs show nothing. When printing an apsfilter test page, the system crashes, meaning, it freezes solid. I have to do a hard reboot. when I try running # lptest dev/lpt0, nothing happens from the printer. I get no error messages. I've run out of ideas, other than replacing this (perfectly useable) boat anchor. --karl _ On the road to retirement?

Karl Agee snipped: (II) Silicon Motion(0): U2C device I2C bus:SAA 7111A registered at address 0x48. (II) Silicon Motion(0): U2C device I2C bus:SAA 7111A removed. It looks as if you have trimmed too much. Look for lines starting with (WW) and (EE). (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. (==) Log File. (==) Using config file.. that is all it says. ***If unresolved symbols were reported above..(wont repeat it you know what the rest is I am sure) Fatal Server Error: Caught Signal 11 Server Aborting. that is where it crashes. OK, so this looks similar. Take a look in /var/run/dmesg.boot and find a line starting with orm0. I'd be interested to see what it looks like. orm0: Option ROM at iomem 0xc-0xcbfff on isa0 Also check for any warnings about checksum mismatches in the dmesg.boot. Nope. no checksum errers. --karl ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

X 4.3 on thinkpad iSeries 1300
Trying to get X running (correctly) on a thinkpad iSeries 1300. This unit has a silicon motion LynxEM+ video chip and a 800x600 svga display. I can get X running, but, it comes up only in 640x480. Additionally the display looks like it is displaying in a 1024x768 mode as all of the fonts, graphics, etc are very_large scale. any tips to getting things setup straight appreciated. --karl ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
printing problems 4.7-stable
I cannot print in 4.7-stable...I do not think the problem is the driver but with how the kernel deals the parallel port. Which is odd, since it recognizes and configures it properly. Why I say this, is because I cannot even send # lptest /dev/lpt0 to the printer, as nothing happens. The printer is a winprinter boat anchor, which works well in linux using the same drivers (and on the same box). It is a HP820Cse using the pnm2ppa filter package setup via apsfilter. When I attempt to print I get an error message back pnm2ppa[405]: parm_iversion(): Unknown Printer version I've written the authors of the package and they made sure I had the right printer selected which I do. I've re-set the parallel port mode in the bios to spp...epp...ecp+eppnothing works so far. Here's what dmesg says about it ppc0: Parallel port at port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa0 ppc0: Generic chipset (NIBBLE-only) in COMPATIBLE mode ppbus0: IEEE1284 device found /NIBBLE/ECP Probing for PnP devices on ppbus0: ppbus0: HEWLETT-PACKARD DESKJET 820C SCP,VLINK lpt0: Printer on ppbus0 lpt0: Interrupt-driven port ppi0: Parallel I/O on ppbus0 There has been some traffic on the past on this, but no resolution... I'm sure it will_work just dont know what is going on at this point. --karl To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
