FWIW, the ieee1394 backend is broken. You can try the scsi or ipp backends which both support firewire: From: Michael Sweet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Newsgroups: cups.general Subject: Re: IEEE1394 backend Roger Leigh wrote: > Is there any reason why the IEEE1394 backend is not built automatically > if libraw1394 is present? It is not ever a TARGET in backend/Makefile. Because it doesn't work. At the time I started working on it to support the Epson implementation of the PWG print channel stuff, libraw1394 and the underlying kernel driver didn't support the modes required by their interface, and the Type B Firewire card Epson sells supports SCSI-over-Firewire which is supported by the existing SCSI backend. FWIW, Canon and HP support both SBP2 (SCSI) and IP modes. -- .''`.
