Bug 33848

Summary: CUPS doesn't find parallel port
Product: Ports & Packages Reporter: Pat Lashley <pat+freebsd>
Component: Individual Port(s)Assignee: Alan Eldridge <alane>
Status: Closed FIXED    
Severity: Affects Only Me

Hardware: Any   
OS: Any   

Description Pat Lashley 2002-01-13 19:40:01 UTC 
The CUPS port does not list any parallel: devices in its available device list.

And yes, I have verified that my kernel supports parallel printers; and that /dev/lpt0 has been created.  In fact, 'cat /etc/motd > /dev/lpt0' prints the motd...

How-To-Repeat: Make sure your kernel includes support for parallel printers and that you have a /dev/lpt0.
Install the cups port.
Start the CUPS daemon.
Run '/usr/local/sbin/lpinfo -v'.
Observe that the list of devices does not include 'direct parallel:/dev/lpt0' (or any other parallel: device)

Does the problem still exist on the latest cups-base-1.1.15.1_3?

No feedback ==> not a problem anymore.
