 Printing on OpenBSD What's the trick for getting OpenBSD to print? After a long struggle, I did manage to get 3.4 to print. The same steps did not work on 3.6 and I'm having no luck so far with 3.7. I'm using the OpenBSD 3.7 binary packages for ghostscript-8.14p3.tgz and cups-1.1.23p2.tgz. The same hardware prints fine under Linux using a similar CUPS configuration. The test page will not print. The "Jobs" page of the CUPS web interface says that the print job was cancelled. The same thing happens when I try to print a text file using "lpr" from a terminal window. In order to get version 3.4 to print, I had to download and compile ESP Ghostscript. (That didn't help with 3.6) Do I need to do that now? If that's needed to use CUPS, why isn't there an ESP Ghostscript package? Duane --------------------------------------------------------- Duane A.
