Howdy?  

I've just been doing a bunch of stuff using openvpn
on 5.5r,5.7r and 5.8snap (i386,amd64,sparc64).  
These are just straight package installs onto 
fairly idiosyncratic systems.

Does this have to be built in the ports tree?

Only speculation at this point.  I tried to use the same
config & location stuff that the OBSD port of cups does,
but it might be easier to use the generic source... dunno

Re: print-preview broken in firefox?

2010-09-28 Thread Duncan Patton a Campbell

I'd been tearing hair out over this and the general
inability of the Apple cups to cope with my admittedly
elderly Brother DCP 7020.  I ran across a comment in 
one of the linux forums saying that the Brother/Cups
(and some other printers) combination was fouled up
because of mishandling of the bidir usb.  So I pulled 
it all out and replaced it with a local build of cups-1.2.12
and now it all works again, including ctrl-P.  

Now if only samba would still work... but I my have to
go retro there, too.

Cups/ghostscript Problems

2010-09-16 Thread Duncan Patton a Campbell

Howdy?

I'm trying to upgrade (reinstall) a system that works with my Brother 7020 DCP.

Presently the ghostview doesn't run: 

 cat input.ps | gs q dNOPAUSE sDEVICE=hl1250 sOutputfile=- - | lpr
GPL Ghostscript GPL Ghostscript 8.638.63: : Unrecoverable error, exit code 1
Unrecoverable error, exit code 1
lpr: Unsupported format 'text/plain'!

where input.ps is small ps derived via pdf2ps from a pdf.  

I've had various problems with cups and this printer here and in 
4.7 and am now wondering if this is a deprecated mechanism.

Thanks,

Dhu

Yes, that appears to be the case but I was initially misled by this message:

Well, other than the fact that I don't know what this does
(some kinda language tool, I guess) I still didn't get very
far before things went sideways:

# pwd

Gprolog Port

Howdy all?  

Does anyone know if the Gprolog port is being maintained
anywhere?  

The 1.2.16 version in ports was broken, but this has
been fixed since 1.3.0 and we now have 1.3.1.

Re: Driver hl1250 missing from the Ghostscript

2008-02-24 Thread Duncan Patton a Campbell

I've had problems with this (previous versions) ... I think
it is included in the latest gs.. if you go

gs -h | grep hl1250

you will see whether it is there.   If not, you should build the
latest port.  If you have trouble with this it can be built from
source by adding the driver from

You may well need to build a specialized kernel if one of the distibuted
geneneric kernels won't support your CD.  There are differences in the 
kernels on the floppies that have different hardware sets.
