[Tfug] Printer working like crazy

Wed Aug 1 22:50:35 MST 2007

Dear Chris,
Printer is working like crazy. I just edited devfs.conf. As I went to CUPS I
was offered serial printer as a choice.
Then on the next screen I was offered a choice of manny drivers. I did chose
hpjis which is HPLIP inproved drivers.
Printed the test page and set up printer as the default.
I could not set the priner throught HPLIP. I really wonted because this is
all in one and I heard that I could get my scanner work.
Sane doesn't offer drivers for older parallel scanners.
I think it is probably worty for me to play with this little bit more.

On the same note I just realized that I have problems with Open Sound System
(probably due to my own stupidity as well).
If I get it to work I would have FULLY FUNTIONAL home build work station
runing FreeBSD 6.2.

This is my

The problem is that I do not hear sound from speakers. The only thing I
changed was to add oss_enable="YES" into my rc.conf file.

I have not changed any permissions, kernel is 6.2 Generic. I run the test
logged as the root. What am I doing wrong? I have the same speakers and
sound card (Audiology SE) working flawlessly while I used PC-BSD.  The Gnome
volume control is saying that I have no GStreamer plugins and/or  device
found. Is it permitions again?
Thanks
Predrag Punosevac

and I have fully functional printer
