WHAT IS THE UPGRADE PATH FOR MY PRINTER DRIVER??? I have the Epson C40UX working, but it apears that http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=46435 got committed and it broke. Now I'm scrambling to make my printer work again. What I had was the gs binary with the stp driver. I could see my printer by name: $ pkg_info |grep ghosts ghostscript-afpl-7.04_7 AFPL Postscript interpreter version 7 $ strings gs | grep -i C40UX escp2-c40ux EPSON Stylus C40UX The new gs binary does not have those strings. Seems I need gimp print but I really still need stp too. Now I see this mess: # pwd /usr/ports/print/gimp-print/work/gimp-print-4.2.4/src/ghost # head -30 README.bsd stp printing with FreeBSD ========================= by Philipp Huber <uebs@gmx.at> (C) 2000 The Ghostcsript6 Port of FreeBSD does not include the stp driver, therefore it's necesseray to do some changes by hand :) First of all, the Ghostscript6 Ports has to be downloaded, extracted and patching must be done. cd /usr/ports/print/ghostscript6 make patch After this, download print-4.0b2 (or another version, i did it with this one) from http://download.sourceforge.net/gimp-print/print-4.0b2.tar.gz Place the file into the workdir of the ghostscript6 port and unzip it: cp print-4.0b2.tar.gz /usr/ports/print/ghostscript6/work/gs6.01 cd /usr/ports/print/ghostscript6/work/gs6.01 tar xzf print-4.0b2.tar.gz Follow the directions as described in "Ghost/README": First, copy all *.c and *.h files into the ghostscript src directory. cd print-4.0b2/Ghost cp *.c ../../src/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ WHY IS THE STP DRIVER NOT IN THE PORTS TREE BY DEFAULT??? WHY IS THERE NO OPTION TO USE THE STP DRIVER IF IT IS STILL A REQUIREMENT FOR MANY PRINTERS??? DO I REALLY HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS BS EVERY TIME PORTUPGRADE SPITS OUT NEW A VERION OF GHOSTSCRIPT?
