I tried to get my printer to work. But when I do lptest > /dev/lpt0. I get no
out put. I checked and have everything correct. So I am thinking that my
printer is not compatible. I have a Compaq IJ700. I am unable to find if this
printer is compatible. I am running FreeBSD 4.10. Grep
ppc0 /var/run/dmesg.boot has the output of:
ppc0: <Parallel port> at port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa0
ppc0: SMC-like chipset (ECP/EPP/PS2/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode
ppc0: FIFO with 16/16/16 bytes threshold
The parallel port of my kernel is:
device ppc0 at isa? irq 7
device ppbus # Parallel port bus (required)
device lpt0 # Printer
device plip # TCP/IP over parallel
device ppi0 # Parallel port interface device
#device vpo # Requires scbus and da
If my printer is compatabel. I would like to have some help setting this up.
