Printing question
So, I finally got around to opening and installing the new HP DeskJet
6940 that I got for Christmas. Now I gotta figure out how to make it
work with NetBSD.
I've installed it, and connected it to my Ethernet network. It's found
an IP address, and it's reachable. But, it seems that it doesn't talk
any reasonable Un*x protocol!
A tcpdump shows that it keeps sending multicast UDP messages to
239.255.255.250 UDP port ssdp (1900?). I connected to it's web-based
configuration screen, and there don't seem to be any interesting options
such as enabling lpr/lpd. It only seems to know about something called
mDNS and UPnP, whatever those are. :)
Anyone got any clues on how I can get this set up to print from NetBSD?
