For what it's worth (sake of the list archives I suppose), I had success with
the following:
*) Canon BJC-240 (black ink cart.)
*) NetBSD/i386 1.6_STABLE (-rnetbsd-1-6 last week) on a:
...generic HP workstation with parallel port in EPP mode:
lpt0 at isa0 port 0x378-0x37b irq 7
*) CUPS 1.1.16 from pkgsrc/print/cups
cups-1.1.16 Common UNIX Printing System
The NetBSD print devices are /dev/lpt[X] and /dev/lpa[X]
/usr/pkg/etc/cups/printers.conf:
<DefaultPrinter Cannon>
Info Cannon
Location Cannon
DeviceURI canon:/dev/lpt0
State Idle
Accepting Yes
JobSheets none none
QuotaPeriod 0
PageLimit 0
KLimit 0
</Printer>
*) Ghostscript-ESP:
ghostscript-esp-7.05.5 ESP/CUPS Postscript interpreter
*) gimp-print-cups 4.2.3 from pkgsrc
gimp-print-cups-4.2.3 GIMP print plugin
...I guess the only question I have is as to configuring some of the printers
power-saver settings (traditionally done throught the vendor's driver). I'm
sure there's some utility somewhere that can do that.
