FreeBSD + Brother HL-2070N There was a discussion last week on the freebsd-questions list about "budget" laser printers. In light of comments from the list and my desire for a printer -- I've grown rather weary of printing via my parents' computers and then waiting for documents to arrive at a rate of 3 pages per minute -- I decided to buy a Brother HL-2070N printer, which I was surprised to find cost less than two hundred (Canadian) dollars, even before the mail-in rebate. So far, I've been generally happy with this printer; however, getting it to work with FreeBSD wasn't an entirely smooth process. Tags: * freebsd configuration * brother hl-2070n * printers *

Basic Setup To use printers with the LPD spooling system, you will need to set up both your printer hardware and the LPD software. This document describes two levels of setup: * See section Simple Printer Setup to learn how to connect a printer, tell LPD how to communicate with it, and print plain text files to the printer. * See section Advanced Printer Setup to learn how to print a variety of special file formats, to print header pages, to print across a network, to control access to printers, and to do printer accounting.
