NAME

     ulpt -- USB printer support

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

           ulpt_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The ulpt driver provides support for USB printers that follow the printer bi- or uni-directional protocol.  The bits in the minor number
     select various features of the driver.

           Minor Bit    Function
           64           Do not initialize (reset) the device on the port.

     Some printers cannot handle the reset on open; in case of problems try the unlpt device.
