Hello, I'm trying to get my HP Deskjet 660Cse printer working under FreeBSD 2.2.1-RELEASE without much luck. I've rebuilt my kernel with the 'device lpt0 at isa? port? tty irq 5 vector lptintr' line in my kernel's conf file and restarted. As root, doing a 'lptest >/dev/lpt0' results in having a page being printed with the top line containg the first 79 characters lptest is supposed to print with a following line containing a single double quote '"' aligned all the way to the right. After this page is fed from my printer 2 more blank pages are fed and the printer's working light will continue to blink until I reset the printer which causes a final blank page to be fed out. When printing with 'lpr' I'll either get a single blank page or the text I was trying to print except that it has the "staircase effect". Here's the contents of /etc/printcap: lp|HP Deskjet 660Cse:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:sh:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\ :lf=/var/log/lp.log: /var/log/lp.log is empty. Any help would be greatly appreciated :) -- Joshua M. Free <josh@jlc.net> http://www.jlc.net/~josh/ NIC: jmf30 PGP Fingerprint = 53 2F 1E E3 43 F6 53 58 57 6E DA D4 8B 08 FB 08
