I am still unable to print. I have checked all possible things pointed =
out in the FreeBSD book and nothing seems to work.

- I did  "lptest > /dev/lpt0" and it returned  "cannot create /dev/lpt0: =
no such device or addresses"
  though /dev/lpt0 does exist.
- "lptest | lpr"  yielded  "waiting for lp to become ready (offline?)", =
but my printer is turned on.
- lpd is running at startup so I don't need to run lpd manually.

I don't think it's a hardware problem because I am able to do =
bi-directional printing from my other partition which is Windows =
95/Windows NT. I have all of the following lines required for parallel =
printing:

controller ppbus0
device ppc0 at isa? port? tty irq 7
device lpt0 at ppbus?

I use an HP 722C Deskjet printer.
