HP Deskwriter serial?
What about printing to a serial printer through a keyspan USB to serial adaptor? Has anyone tried that? Can anyone give me any hints, such as how to type the correct port so that it passes through to the keyspan and then the serial port 1 (or 2) on the keyspan? I want to use the old deskwriter for black and white only print jobs. It still works great-can't see tossing the thing.

Mike Sweet (the 'father' of CUPS) wrote the following in the
cups.development newsgroup You'll need to add your devices to the list of serial ports that are recognized; otherwise the scheduler will not know about the device and won't allow you to use it... One simple way you can add support for your serial ports is to create a shell script in /usr/libexec/cups/backend that contains the following (the name of the script is not critical; "serial.local", "myserialports", etc. will all work):
#!/bin/shMake sure the execute permissions are set ( chmod +x filename).This script will tell the scheduler that the serial backend supports additional devices. HTH, Thomas |
