I finally got it working. Here are the steps, OpenBSD 3.8, cups-1.1.23p2, ESP Ghostscript 7.07.1 and gutenprint-5.0.0-rc1
I installed the above in that order. Cups was a pkg and the other two were source. To install ghostscript I unpacked jpegsrc.v6b in the root directory. Then ./configure --with-cups --without-omni gmake gmake install The compile only works with gmake. For gutenprint ./configure --without-gimp --with-cups --disable-translated-cups-ppds gmake gmake install In configuring the printer with cups I set it up as a parallel polled printer (Epson) I first tested with lptest > /dev/ulpt0 with the BSD print system and could not print. Switching to a parallel cable solved that. Cheers, Jeff On 9/26/05, Theo de Raadt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Someone is telling you to use a non-standard FreeBSD extension. That's > hogwash.
