my mobo+onboard proc.. FreeBSD 7.1.. printing..

Just buy this "cap ayam" 2ndhand motherboard with onboard proc, VIA C2 2000+ (it's 800Mhz) for my testing puposes.. thanx god i got it cheaply.. very2 cheap.. and my initial plan is to replace my old pentium 187Mhz as router/firewall for a while..

i got it during my working days and i bring it home, plug it to some old casings, attach the DDR226 RAM 256MB ( thats enuff for the *BSD to kick ass!! )

Later i got stupid prob with this Canon LBP-800 that refuse to print ( isung old parallel port ) and i thought it's the software prob.. so i attach it to this box and 1st try to print via text mode for lpr thingy but it keep saying /dev/lp0 is busy..


so i try use CUPS, but i need to install the web browsers 1st ( my initial plan is just use the text-mode only ).. so i just let the plain X GUI ( no KDE, No GNOME, sawfish etc2 ) and install the firefox via pkg_add...



testing CUPS and it's reveal that some problem with the printer.. warghhh ( i check on dmesg, the printer is detected and match.. use IRQ7 )..

so now it's the printer biol... so i need to sent it for fix ( i just buy a new toner!! fux!! )
