There were a series of User Interface patches that were often applied to mutt binaries but were not included in mutt upstream. Off the top of my head, a sidebar was one such patch.
Neomutt incorporated the patches.
If your happy with your mutt configuration , neomutt will only add features...
HP's jet direct port is a stable networking protocol available as a CUPs configuration option. I'm currently using it with a postscript ppd.
socket://PrinterIPAddress:9100
If you look at the code in the C330PS.ppd, the bulk of it is generic postscript. It does have some OKI specific external commands like job accounting and "smoothing" algorithms.. The code calls for the OKI specific commands will not be found in FreeBSD.
CUPs does it's own job accounting...
You may be making this too hard. According to this spec sheet
Oki C530dn spec sheet
This printer supports Oki's version of postscript and PCL6.
Should work with either Postscript or print/ghostscript pxlcolor ppd's.
a2ps works like print/enscript. Both will output a postscript file (.ps) on the input of plain text (.txt) So the handbook examples using enscript should also work. a2ps, will also use ImageMagick to convert image formats (*jpeg, *png) to postscript.
If your printing starts with a postscript...
Actually rastertobrlaser is provided by print/brlaser - not a linux binary.
FreeBSD Makefile for brlaser - with PLIST
Edit, just occured to me, now that print/ghostscript10 supports the brlaser driver, you should be able to use sDEVICE=brlaser in a print filter in LPR.
Create an executable...
When I have used cups, localhost:631 has always worked out of the box. There are 2 potential pitfalls:
1. The cups server is not running
2. Possibly the browser needs to have it's storage cache cleared.
What I would do is uninstall the cups package and double check that the /usr/local/etc/...
I was coming back to edit my reply. In OpenBSD there have been some code commits to cups-filters and I retried lpr setup using foomatic-rip described here:
pkg-readme for cups-filters
Initially, the print job did not go through:
#!/bin/sh
${LOCALBASE}/bin/a2ps -BRq --columns=1 -o - | \...
Several comments.
I believe tha the HL-L 2300 is a GDI printer and print/brlaser should be a more capable filter.
The Brlaser site says the HL-L 2300D is supported:
Brlaser github
The handbook describes using netcat to test the connection:
# nc netlaser 9100 < sample.txt
You have to setup...
There are several pdf -> ps interpreters.
graphics/poppler https://poppler.freedesktop.org/ Command pdftops. Evince uses poppler.
print/ghostscript https://www.ghostscript.com/ Command pdf2ps
I have good results w/ graphics/zathura-pdf-mupdf (ghostscript based) but I do use lpr printing...
The Open Source foundation is developing IBM/Redhat cracks.
Redhat no longer publishing release source code.
You could see it coming when Redhat hired the 4 independent Centos developers and essentially subsumed the project. Gnome with Wayland/Pulseaudio/Pipewire will likely be the first...
A different angle on this is what would you recommend to a FreeBSD newbie looking for a work station?
I'll make an argument that XFCE4 is the most BSDunix friendly largely because 2 OpenBSD members are core XFCE4 developers.
Gnome is driven by IBM/Redhat and KDE by Suse and I'm not aware that...
If you set up printcap, start lpd, you will get:
spooling
lpq job control/lpcdaemon control
interfaces to print/a2ps, graphics/zathura-pdf-mupdf and other programs
error logging in /var/log/lpd-errs
I can think of several instances where FreeBSD documentation lags reality and those trying to help are shooting the in dark. Device recognition by VendorID/DeviceID, firmware loading and driver matching would all be logged in the dmesg. The OP alludes to the fact that driver is now in the...
rtwn_usb
These require firmware:
rtwnfw
If your sure it is the right chipset and the firmware is enabled but it is still not working then it is a matter of adding the VendorID/DeviceID
There are 2 ways to dual boot.
The first is to select the boot device in the bios.
Live FreeBSD usb (sorry for the ad)
The second is to have a bootloader with a boot menu. Grub2 is most common but ReFind and Syslinux also support boot menus.
The issue with the /etc/fstab entry is it is...
Not supported yet:
urtwn
urtw
The letter codes at the end of the model series matter. You can copy/paste the supported model numbers in ebay, amazon or newegg search and get devices that match for under $10USD.
Supported wireless devices are on the Hardware Support web page. Unfortunately...
hruodr print filter is the correct one but they traditionally are placed in /usr/local/libexec.
This lacks executable permissions and usually the owner:group is daemon:daemon
The reason the files go into /usr/local/libexec is that they are executable files
See the handbook for correct...
