Hi, I just bought a Canon i865 yesterday. This is my first printer install on FreeBSD. I, of course, followed the steps described in the handbook. But when running the really simple 'lptest > /dev/lpt0' command, nothing happened, excepted the flashing light on the printer. The flashing time is depending of the job size, i.e. the light is flashing longer with lptest > /dev/lpt0 than with lptest 20 5 > /dev/lpt0. I decided to go a bit firther and configured /etc/printcap, and activated the lf capability. And running lptest 20 5 | lpr -Pmy-printer gave again the same result. I tried many research on the net but could not find anything useful. I am now installing apsfilter but ask you for some help during the compilation process. Thank you. -- Regards, Ivan.
