When I bought my Laserjet 1200SE about a year ago, FreeBSD wasn't capable of using its USB interface. I see no indication that this has changed. Is anybody working on this as a personal project? Is there any general progress on it? Basically, parallel printing 50MB Postscript files is killing me. I think I'm going to have to give in and move the Printer onto a Linux workstation unless somebody knows something I don't. Kirk Strauser "94 outdated ports on the box, 94 outdated ports.

Possibly cheaper, less power to run, fewer moving parts to fail, no OS to keep updated ... the list is long. I bought a printserver for my laserjet that plugs directly into the parallel port of the printer (no parallel cables needed), powered by a wall wart, speaks lpd (etc), configuration via telnet, for about $7 via ebay.

I also tried using lptcontrol to set "extended" mode, but that didn't work at all. Literally. I'd print something, the light on the printer would begin to flash, then it would stop; there were no error messages in the CUPS logs. > What's your data? One 20Mb graphic is different to a 20Mb "text" document. 20MB graphics. Here's what I was doing that really brought this to light: 1) Created a 30" x 24" 300DPI canvas in The GIMP. 2) Generated some really large text. 3) Used the "Resize canvas" to slice the image into 8" x 10" pages and printed them individually. The page files were the 20MB files that I was referring to. Although they were graphic, I think they were basically bitmaps that wouldn't require too much computation. > As a point of reference here is what we have. > > Win95 clients with PS driver -> K6II500 servers running samba + cups -> s= tock=20 > 1200's (ie. 8Mb) > A page of text takes about a minute, Seriously? I bought the printer to run off 20-30 page Word documents that are emailed to me semi-weekly. The elapsed time from when I click "Print" in OpenOffice to when the first page begins to appear is about 10 seconds if the printer's not already warmed up, or 5 seconds otherwise. The whole job runs at the advertised 12PPM or so. > Now this could easily be the client software/driver, but public opinion > seems to be that these printers are slow on graphics. **again Nuts. Well, at least I don't find myself doing this too often. I guess I'll just put up with the 5-10 minutes per page wait. > **Personally I don't care.

The output is spectacular, the toner is cheap, and text output flies. Were it not for this snag, I'd say it's the perfect printer. =2D-=20 Kirk Strauser --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQA/bGya5sRg+Y0CpvERAgNQAJ9kyjbcAcvqiNZdTqOkYPUbp2xtZwCgk04/ 57BWsmwoeGRdnTl3hl4Cto0= =2kou -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=-- > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- < 發信人: des@des.no (Dag-Erling Sm鷨grav), 看板: FB_stable 標 題: Re: HP Laserjet 1200 on USB 發信站: NCTU CSIE FreeBSD Server (Sat Sep 20 23:22:14 2003) 轉信站: ptt!FreeBSD.csie.NCTU!not-for-mail ian j hart <ianjhart@ntlworld.com> writes: > On Saturday 20 September 2003 2:36 pm, Kirk Strauser wrote: > > It currently takes about 5 minutes to transfer a 20MB file to my printer > > which has 64MB of memory. > > Printing starts within 5-10 seconds of the upload being completed. > Q.

I was never able to get mine working under 4.X (4.7 was the last I tried). Under 5.1 it works flawlessly: FreeBSD gandalf.orthanc.ab.ca 5.1-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.1-CURRENT #1: Mon Aug 25 16:03:55 MDT 2003 Perhaps not the answer you wanted, but at least you know there is hope.

Are the Postscript files being sent to the printer still 300 DPI after all the manipulation? When I use xsane in "Copy" mode, the resulting Postscript files end up with an odd resolution which is painfully slow to print on my Ethernet-connected HP LaserJet 4000 which has to resample the bitmap to convert it to device resolution. It might also speed things up if you can convert the data to monochrome from either grayscale or RGB. I didn't see any obvious ways to do this when printing from GIMP, but you could save the file in some format compatible with netpbm, and use that to do the conversion. At that point converting the data to HP LaserJet format before printing becomes a possibility, which is likely to be a faster way to print bitmap data than printing PostScript. This doesn't solve you USB problem, though. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- < 發信人: ianjhart@ntlworld.com (ian j hart), 看板: FB_stable 標 題: Re: HP Laserjet 1200 on USB 發信站: NCTU CSIE FreeBSD Server (Sun Sep 21 02:54:35 2003) 轉信站: ptt!FreeBSD.csie.NCTU!not-for-mail On Saturday 20 September 2003 4:03 pm, Dag-Erling Sm=F8rgrav wrote: > ian j hart <ianjhart@ntlworld.com> writes: > > On Saturday 20 September 2003 2:36 pm, Kirk Strauser wrote: > > > It currently takes about 5 minutes to transfer a 20MB file to my > > > printer which has 64MB of memory. > > > Printing starts within 5-10 seconds of the upload being completed. > > > > Q.

You can do much better than that in ECP mode - I use it to transfer 2Mbit/sec video to a piece of custom hardware hung of the parallel por= t (standard drivers at the FreeBSD end), so I'm getting over 250KByte/se= c. However, the GENERIC kernel isn't configured for this - you need to ad= d the DRQ setting: device ppc0 at isa? irq 7 drq 3 and make sure that the BIOS is configured to match. After that, lptcontrol -e engages DMA-driven printing, with much greater speed and lower CPU utilisation. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.o= rg" _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- < 發信人: Holger.Kipp@alogis.com (Holger Kipp), 看板: FB_stable 標 題: Re: HP Laserjet 1200 on USB 發信站: NCTU CSIE FreeBSD Server (Sun Sep 21 17:15:56 2003) 轉信站: ptt!FreeBSD.csie.NCTU!not-for-mail On Fri, Sep 19, 2003 at 07:50:15PM +0200, Dag-Erling Sm鷨grav wrote: > Doug White <dwhite@gumbysoft.com> writes: > > On Fri, 19 Sep 2003, Kirk Strauser wrote: > > > When I bought my Laserjet 1200SE about a year ago, FreeBSD wasn't capable of > > > using its USB interface.

I do have two USB-mice here. One is a cheapo Typhoon 40150 stream optical mouse which works as expected (but afaik only since I last cvsupped). The other is a hama 49154 discovery wheelmouse optical, which gives the following: Sep 21 11:09:39 katrin /kernel: ums1: vendor 0x062a product 0x0000, rev 1.10/2.04, addr 2, iclass 3/1 Sep 21 11:09:44 katrin /kernel: device_probe_and_attach: ums1 attach returned 6 Sep 21 11:09:49 katrin /kernel: ugen0: vendor 0x062a product 0x0000, rev 1.10/2.04, addr 2 Sep 21 11:09:54 katrin /kernel: ugen0: setting configuration index 0 failed Sep 21 11:09:54 katrin /kernel: device_probe_and_attach: ugen0 attach returned 6 The epson perfection scanner 1260 works without problems, but initialisation must be done via Linux or Windows, and it shouldn't be switched off afterwards. Call that strange! My 6-in-1 cardreader makes no problems, at least with MS and SD/MMS-Cards (USB-support works like a charm for about 2 months I guess). It would be good to move this out of the kernel, though, as the floppy-disk-problem(tm) got me there as well (removing the card without thinking, and I had it mounted rw, resulting in a kernel panic). Is there no way to prevent this? Interestingly, if I try to attach the 6-in-1 cardreader to the port where I tried the hama USB mouse, I get: Sep 21 11:25:28 katrin /kernel: uhub2: port error, restarting port 1 Sep 21 11:25:44 katrin /kernel: uhub2: device problem, disabling port 1 Sep 21 11:25:55 katrin /kernel: uhub2: port error, restarting port 1 Sep 21 11:26:11 katrin /kernel: uhub2: device problem, disabling port 1 Sep 21 11:26:35 katrin /kernel: uhub2: device problem, disabling port 2 Sep 21 11:28:49 katrin /kernel: uhub2: port error, restarting port 1 Sep 21 11:29:05 katrin /kernel: uhub2: device problem, disabling port 1 (usually it works on uhub2, both port 1 and 2). Using a different uhub: Sep 21 11:29:18 katrin /kernel: umass0: ICSI IC1100 V2.5B, rev 1.10/2.5b, addr 3 Sep 21 11:29:18 katrin /kernel: da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 Sep 21 11:29:18 katrin /kernel: da0: <ICSI IC1100 CF 2.5B> Removable Direct Access SCSI-0 device Sep 21 11:29:18 katrin /kernel: da0: 650KB/s transfers Sep 21 11:29:18 katrin /kernel: da0: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not presen This is all on 4.9-PRERELEASE from Sep. 14 2003. So USB support is getting better (thanx a lot to everyone who contributed!), but it is still some way to go (imho).
