Re: hplip port update to version 2.8.5
Hi Jerry, I think I would give some credence to the stated requirements on the site. The reason I raised the point was I know of people using D15XX (but where XX < 80) with hplip versions well below 2.8.5, and HP now claims 2.8.5 to be the minimum for those printers too, as well as for a whole lot of printers which are known to work with hplip versions less than 2.8.5. If I am not mistaken, the hplip site blindly states 2.8.5 as the minimum requirement for all printers of this class. Maybe this is just a convenient way of doing things for HP rather than figuring out each printer's actual minimum requirement. In any case, did you contact the port maintainer about updating the port. If if doesn't get done before the port freeze, you will probably be screwed. Sure I did. Although the response was not was particularly thrilling : I am not sure when I'm going to get around to doing an update. If you want to take a stab at an update I'll be happy to review any patches, but you will probably need the newer version to get things working. -- Anish Mistry amis...@am-productions.biz My previous mail to freebsd-questions was marked as To by mistake.

I do hope it's not terribly complex to setup and go. -- Thank you and Regards Manish Jain invalid.poin...@gmail.com +91-99830-62246 NB : Laast year I kudn't spell Software Engineer.

hplip port update to version 2.8.5
Hi, I am about to buy a new printer and my retailer strongly recommends HP's D1560 printer (USB). I am running ghostscript8-8.62_5 under FreeBSD 7.1 and I can't see this model listed anywhere in apsfilter. So I checked up the hplip site. The site says that the D1560 is indeed supported, but it also says that the minimum version of hplip required for this is 2.8.5, while the latest port available is 2.8.2. Please check out http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/deskjet/deskjet_d1500_series.html The site actually lists hplip version 2.8.5 as the minimum requirement for the entire D15XX series, and a whole lot of other deskjet printers. Should I wait for a port update or do you think version 2.8.2 is capable of handling the printer ? -- Thank you and Regards Manish Jain invalid.poin...@gmail.com +91-99830-62246 NB : Laast year I kudn't spell Software Engineer.
