Ian you go! However did you cook that up by the way....?

I set lpd=NO in my /etc/rc.conf, and then I rebooted and tried your 
method...

When I issued the "gs @stc800p.upp -sOutputFile-tiger.stc tiger.ps -c 
quit" command  gs generated a invalidfileaccess in --.outputpage--

Doh!  I am logged in as root, and I have attempted to premake files, and 
it still says that same thing....

Ideas?  I'm jonesin to print now.....

I'm gonna be on the road for three weeks, so I would love to at least 
see SOMETHING before I leave...

Ian you go! However did you cook that up by the way....?


I set lpd=3DNO in my /etc/rc.conf, and then I rebooted and tried your
method...


When I issued the "<color><param>0000,0000,DEDD</param>gs @stc800p.upp

The settings to get the Epson Stylus 740 to work with an LC475 and
NetBSD 1.5

are:


stty 230400 raw -echo cstopb << /dev/tty01

stty ixon ixoff << /dev/tty01

/bin/echo -n "\r\r" > /dev/tty01


The last line is necessary to persuade the printer to enter xon/xoff
hand-shaking

mode. This apparently won't happen if you immediately go into graphics
mode

without first printing some plain ASCII text (and a carriage-return

will do).


Anyway, I now have a rather smart tiger printed out, courtesy of
GhostScript. I

used:


gs @stc500.upp -sOutputFile-tiger.stc tiger.ps -c quit

and then as root (I haven't set up any special permissions on
/dev/tty01)


cp tiger.stc /dev/tty01


Came out quickly, no problems. So my NetBSD installation lives to
fight another

day. Perhaps I'll even try tackling printcap and lpr soon. Now all I
need to do

is get that scanner working and I'll have 75% of what I installed
NetBSD for.

I think that the conclusion has to be that you can't print to the newer

Epson printers with NetBSD on an old Mac. (Apparently you can use a
Stylus =20

Pro, because it autobauds and will work at slower rates.) For me
though, I =20

might as well wipe my NetBSD partition, since I can't really do
