I'm new to OpenBSD. I recently installed 4.5. It seems to be working
well except for this CUPS printing problem. My printer is an HP DeskJet
connected to the parallel port.
The CUPS driver is running. Here's a line from dmesg:
lpt0 at isa0 port 0x378/4 irq 7
Here's the OpenBSD lpinfo output:
# /usr/local/sbin/lpinfo -v
network socket
network http
network ipp
network lpd
direct usb:/dev/ulpt0
direct usb:/dev/ulpt1
#
When I boot Debian Lenny on this same computer, I see this:
dada...@swing:~$ /usr/sbin/lpinfo -v
network socket
network beh
direct hpfax
direct hp
network http
network ipp
network lpd
direct parallel:/dev/lp0
direct scsi
serial serial:/dev/ttyS0?baud=115200
dada...@swing:~$
With Debian, I use "parallel:/dev/lp0" as the CUPS URI and printing
works fine.
It seems like the OpenBSD lpinfo output should include a line like
"direct parallel:/dev/lpt0", but as you can see, it's not there. Can
someone tell me what's wrong here? Do I need to install some other
package?
