I'm trying to use my printer (an OKI C530dn) with my freshly-installed FreeBSD laptop. I am using CUPS for this, and I have set it up correctly. However, it's not working at all. When I opened the CUPS web interface, I found the following error message: Idle - "File...

Would like to install LaserGRBL on FreeBSD 13.1 so that I can use it along with my 3D printer Ender-3 with 4.2.7 board. The laser module is custom made using UV laser of 25mW Sony Diode. https://github.com/arkypita/LaserGRBL I'm going to make PCBs with it using UV dry film photo resit, known...

By following the instructions in https://docs.freebsd.org/en/articles/cups/, I installed print/cups and started the cupsd daemon. However, I noticed that the cupsd process runs as root. Does CUPS really need superuser privileges to print documents? If not, how do I make cupsd run as a less...

Hi all, Was not able to find it in the discussions. I am planning to find a laser-printer so I can ditch those inkjets I have. I only print some 10 pages a year or so. Are there any printers with good support for FreeBSD?

Welcome to the forum everyone. I ran into a problem that unfortunately I can't solve, even though I'm already trying everything. I looked through the forums but couldn't find a solution. A FreeBSD 13.2 system operating as a NAS, including printer and scanner sharing. The network is...

Well, I did it. I got CUPS working with my network Brother mono laser. It wasn't easy, so I took detailed notes and I've posted them here for any fellow sufferers to use: Fresh install of FreeBSD using static IP (192.168.0.6): uname -a FreeBSD acer 14.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT #0...

Tricky? Cheap to buy vs cheap to run. How many prints a day? Double sided printing? Postscript vs PCL. I guess there's no one right answer. Recommendations WITH Justification. The best answer wins a solid gold Rolls Royce.

I am trying to port a 3D printer firmware / daemon called Klipper to run on FreeBSD. So far it all went well until it wanted to <linux/can.h> I am running out of places to look for that file. I don't see it anywhere in the standard libraries. Is there canbus support in FreeBSD? If so, where can...

In freebsd 13.1 with kde plasma5, a print command (no printer attached, the command is to print to a pdf) brings up the print to a pdf window without delay, but it takes a bit of time to load the preview and process print command. I found this kde thread that indicates that says I found...

I have a LaserJet 200 series HP printer. I print through cups and hplip now, but I noticed my printer has an embedded webserver. It got me thinking... Is there a way to disable the cups daemon, and add the printer directly through the wireless network (or USB) and print that way?

Cause: CUPS was configured to use IPv4 addresses. LPD was configured to use domain names. A change to the printer addresses and to DNS allowed LPD to work and broke CUPS. Solution: Reconfigure printers in CUPS to use IPP to printer domain names. OP: I am seeing this in lpstat -p -d -R: #...

My printer is xerox DocuPrint P115 b,I can use it on windows systems.Can I use it on freebsd?How to install printer driver?How to use printer on freebsd?

I do not know if this is the correct place to ask but it seems to me to be a port issue. Using the CUPS web interface I some time previously configured my desktop workstation to use a Lexmark MS711dn printer over the network. This printer shows as currently using the Lexmark MS710 series as...

Hopefully this will be useful for someone else with a Lexmark printer. I thought I had established a network connection with my printer, but in fact I was still using the USB connection. The working configuration for me in my case was to use jetdirect: <Printer LEXMARK_C3426_NETWORK>...

Hello, I'm trying to make my new printer Epson L1210 working under FreeBSD (TrueNAS). It works fine under Linux (Fedora 35). I was following this guide https://www.freshports.org/print/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr but `lpinfo -v` returns list without my printer. Printer is connected via USB. I...

I know there are proprietary Linux drivers and software for the HP Envy Pro 6000 multifunctional prnter and scanner. I did not have any luck in macking the drivers working for Linux, and I was thinking if anyone has successfully used such a printer with FreeBSD.
