Usb printer problem after upgrade
Hi. I upgraded from a few months old -current snapshot to the August 1 i386 snapshot, and now any attempt to write to /dev/ulpt0 (my usb printer) results in Device busy. Booting with the old kernel - no problem, I can print. Is this a bug in the new snapshot? Is anyone else having issues with their USB printers with this snapshot? Thanks. ulpt0 at uhub0 port 2 configuration 1 interface 0 Hewlett-Packard hp LaserJet 2420 rev 2.00/1.00 addr 2 ulpt0: using bi-directional mode
printer problem
Hi there, I have a problem with Samsung ML-2015 /etc/printcap lp|local printer|ML2015:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ :sd=/var/spool/output:\ :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs: rc.conf lpd_flags= ps ax | grep lpd 114 ?? Is 0:00.00 lpd 25472 S+ 0:00.00 grep lpd Run #lptest 70 5 | lpr -PML2015 LCD blincks, printer sounds promising and no any output at all.

Re: printer problem
Don't you need a filter for your printer? In my case, my /etc/printcap looks something like: lp|home:\ :lp=/dev/ulpt0:\ :af=/etc/foomatic/HP-DeskJet_F4100-hpijs.ppd:\ :if=/usr/local/bin/foomatic-rip:\ :sd=/var/spool/output:\ :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs: With the foomatic-rip filter.

Splix 2.0 is ported to OpenBSD. Are you sure that your printer speaks PostScript? You printcap looks OK for a PostScript printer. Cheers, Predrag

Regards, Igor. -- igor denisov. -- Internet Explorer 8 - ?? ?! http://ie.rambler.ru/ You are contradicting yourself. You showed us a printcap file for PostScript capable printer. Now you are telling me that there is a GhostScript driver for it. Then your printcap is not correct as you need a input filter. You have a choice of using foomatic-rip or writing a small filter yourself. It should look something like more /usr/local/libexec/lpfilter-ps #!/bin/sh # Treat LF as CR+LF printf \033k2G || exit 2 # Print the postscript file /usr/local/bin/gs -dSAFER -dBATCH -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=ljet4 \ -sOutputFile=- -sPAPERSIZE=a4 - exit 0 exit 2 Replace ljet4 with the name of the driver which you believe supports your printer. Printcap should look like lp|local|HP:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ :sd=/var/spool/output:\ :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs: :sh:mx#0:if=/usr/local/libexec/lpfilter-ps: You just need to edit device node /dev/lpt0 otpion (maybe). Cheers, Predrag P.S. I would check OpenPrinting data base before I really believe that Samsung printer can be driven by GhostScript. I am not saying it is not possible. I am just saying that in my experience those cheep one tend to require Splix.
usb printer problem
Hi, I'm trying to configure an Epson Stylus C67 usb inkjet printer without success. My system is an snapshot from: OpenBSD 3.9-beta (GENERIC) #591: Thu Jan 19 12:32:39 MST 2006 I have a simple /etc/printcap: lp|lpjet|EpsonC67:\ :lp=/dev/ulpt0:\ :mx#0:\ :rs=false:\ :sd=/var/spool/output/lp:\ :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\ :sh: The printer is detected with a similar message both at the usb 1.1 and usb 2.0 ports: ulpt0 at uhub0 port 2 configuration 1 interface 0 ulpt0: EPSON USB Printer, rev 1.10/1.00, addr 2, iclass 7/1 ulpt0: using bi-directional mode But when I use: sudo cat sometextfile /dev/ulpt0 or lpr sometextfile the printer makes some noise, moves the printing head and stops without printing anything. commands like lpc restart all, lpc clean all, lprm - don't help. I've searched google and found that a similar problem was solved by using /dev/unlpt0 but this device is not present in openbsd. http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2003/11/06/Big_Scary_Daemons.html Have anyone had such a problem? Am I missing some configuration? Thanks, -- Carlos
Re: usb printer problem
Hello, I had very similar problems with a HP 3845 following the same guide. I was advised to try apsfilter which is in ports but still had no luck. Eventually I tried using foomatic using the guide at http://www.jakemsr.com/openbsd/foomatic.html Worked for me, although it keeps printing using my now empty colour cartridge, and ignores my black one. Perhaps you'll have more luck. Regards, T On 18/03/06, Carlos Alberto Pereira Gomes [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I'm trying to configure an Epson Stylus C67 usb inkjet printer without success.
