No ... I know how to do a minimal test with gs (just use the gs flags to convert a postscript file to a printer-native file, then (as root) copy it over to the printer's port in /dev). Do you know how to do that in gutenprint? There isn't any man page for it. Besides that, I think that the usb interface must have some bug in it. At every attempted copy to /dev/ulpt0, it always fails to print, just tossing this error: Cannot open /dev/ulpt0 read/write: Device busy That happens even if I have powered down the printer for a minute, then restarting it. I know that's the correct device by reading /var/log/messages: May 8 12:02:01 april kernel: ulpt0: <EPSON USB Printer, class 0/0, rev 1.10/1.00, addr 3> on uhub0 May 8 12:02:01 april kernel: ulpt0: using bi-directional mode -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIIyZNz62J6PPcoOkRAh+TAJ4yQirycFgMOk2UA8JGOUe98rH6nQCdGubk O/ZLQfIIHHShHKW5I6X74rA= =M6np -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
