Step 5Configure Things to Load on Boot
Load ulpt.ko Module
First we want to make sure that ulpt.ko loads on boot so as soon as we connect a printer it'll recognize it properly. Type:
nano /boot/defaults/loader.conf
Scroll down with either the arrow keys or ctrl+V until you reach a section titled "USB Modules"
Change the line
"ulpt_load="NO" # Printer"
to
"ulpt_load="YES" # Printer"
Hit ctrl+X. Then type "y", and hit enter when it asks you to save.
Start LPRng
Navigate to the FreeNAS web interface in a browser. Then go to System-->Advanced-->rc.conf
Use the "+" button to add two new entries:
Name: lpd_enable
Value: NO
Name: lprng_enable
Value: YES
