I believe that this problem was discussed about 2 months ago. The default
kernel is setup for installing the OS via PLIP or over the parallel port.
i.e. it should not be set to "net" for printing. My memory is hazy about
this so do a search in the archive for PLIP and sort by date.

Please respond to "dave"
Hello,
I'm trying to get my hp812c printer to work with freebsd. I was trying
to make it work crossnetwork, that didn't work, so I decided to try it
locally attached to the bsd machine, which made a mess of a bunch of stuff,
so I was hopeful I could get it working fast. The problem is it's not
printing. I've got lpt0 in the kernel and it shows up, the printer itself
shows up as a generic printer. The lpt port is in interrupt driven mode, my
/etc/printcap file is right out of the handbook. I've made a logfile, and
used the lf command in printcap to instruct bsd to write to it, but I'm
getting nothing. I've restarted lpd several times, with no success.
If anyone can help please e-mail me.
Thanks.
Dave.
