I have a Brother MFC-240C multi-function device (scan, (photo-)print, copy, fax) that I'm trying to get working. All I can find on the net are instructions for getting it working under various Linux distributions but nothing about any version of FreeBSD. Does anyone have a clue? It is connected via USB.
For what it's worth, I'm running:
When attached this appears in /var/log/messages:
/dev/da0 entries are caused by the card reader built into the printer.
I installed gnome-cups-manager so I could add printers easily (the lpd method in the handbook gets the data to the printer, which just sits there saying on its readout, "Receiving data") and run:
but it doesn't detect the printer when ran, nor does it see any open printer ports (I am running ipfw as my firewall if that makes a difference).
Any ideas?
