ulpt0 and cheap ink-jet printer

2010-03-29 Thread Steve Brownjohn
hi all,
 
I'm having no luck in getting a cheap HP printer - DeskJet 3940 - to
work with FreeBSD 8. It shows up as connected to ulpt0, but won't
respond to lp / lpr even with appropriate printcap settings.
 
I'm guessing that the fact that I can't # cat file  /dev/ulpt0 has
something to do with it, perhaps the printer requires a filter to print
anything.
 
At a pinch, I'll go down the HPLIP route - CUPS on its own didn't work,
even with a ulpt-less kernel - but I only want to print plain text
files!
 
thanks for any ideas you may have,
 
Steve

Deskjet 3940 is LIDIL (host-based), so HPLIP is pretty much required.
