One more time about CUP and Brother printer.
Dear gurus would you please share your knowledge with me.
I’ve got a puzzle of FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE GENERIC i386, Brother FAX-2920R, Windows 7 32bit PPD-file,
Linux driver and tons of topics and posts. I know it is not impossible task, but I really lost in the ocean of information.
My first question is: can I use win7 ppd file or another ppd file of earlier versions of Windows (XP, 9x), either Windows’ PPD can not be used? Should I use Linux driver only?
List of my actions
cups-1.5.2 - installed
Brother 2920R connected via usb.
[CMD="dmesg"] | less[/CMD]
Code:
…
ugen4.2: <vendor 0x04f9> at usbus4
ulpt0: <vendor 0x04f9 product 0x0188, class 0/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 2> on usbus4
ulpt0: using bi-directional mode
…
rc.conf
Code:
cupsd_enable="YES"
devfs_system_ruleset="system"
devfs.conf
Code:
[system=10]
add path 'unlpt*' mode 0660 group cups
add path 'ulpt*' mode 0660 group cups
add path 'lpt*' mode 0660 group cups
add path 'usb/4.2.0' mode 0660 group cups
User and root added to cups group
[CMD="lptest >"]/dev/unlpt0 [/CMD] or [CMD="lptest >"]/dev/ulpt0[/CMD] print three empty pages.
What I must change/add/install/ to make printing on my printer?
Short and exact explanation is very appreciated. Please kindly let me know if additional information is required.
Kind regards.
P.S. Sorry for my terrible English. English is not my native language.
