Yes, it works ! "rc-update add lpd" allows to automatically activate the lpd service at boot (I had stupidly tried rc-service add lpd, of course without success ...). So, I deleted the content of "~/.xsession", removed "lpd_enable="YES"" from the file "/e...

Yes, I did. One thing that could possibly work is that the lpd service would be activated automatically at startup, which is not the case when adding lpd_enable="YES" to the "/etc/rc.conf" file. However, a manual "# service lpd start" activates the service and xsane wor...

With GhostBSD reinstalled, just configure your printer and set as default destination (in CUPS) My printer has always been configured as my default printer. edit your ~/.xsession and add the next line export PRINTER=HP_LaserJet_200_color_M251nw Done. # echo $PRINTER PRINTER: Variable pas définie. # ...

Concretely, what am I supposed to do ? # lpstat -p -d printer HP_LaserJet_200_color_M251nw is idle. enabled since lun. 15 juin 20:54:22 2020 system default destination: HP_LaserJet_200_color_M251nw What do...

I finally put everything back as it was at the beginning, considering that the "\" were only warnings. One thing I notice is that adding the line "lpd_enable="YES"" to the file "/etc/rc.conf" does not work because the lpd service is not activated at boot. I se...

Disappointment. chkprintcap chkprintcap: WARNING: found 6 entries when skimming /etc/printcap, chkprintcap: WARNING: but only found 1 queues to process! I had to remove each 5 "\", so no more warning with that. A first echo "Hello Printer" | lpr lpr: Unable to connect to /var/run...

Hello,

A month ago, I could access the media files (SD card and internal storage) on my phone via USB to transfer them to my PC.
Today, the phone is mounted automatically, the 2 storage spaces are visible but none can be opened. No message to specify the reason ...

Thanks.

Hi, GhostBSD-2020-04-30-XFCE, USB Epson Perfection 1650 scanner and HP Laserjet 200 Color m251nw network printer. I asked this question a few years ago but I never got an answer and the problem is still there : xsane is installed as well as hplip. The 2 packages work very well independently of each ...

Maybe I should change my glasses !
However, I browsed this pkg wiki and used it (pkg info, pkg autoremove, pkg mirrors), but I had not seen this possibility ...
It doesn't explain the issue but it works.
thank you so very much, slughorn !
