I have apsfilter installed. The printer (HP Deskjet) made a couple of weird sounds and started blinking the out of paper light. I turned it off and on. Light blinking again. lprm the job -- still blinking. Turn off and on a couple of times -- and computer is hanging. Reproduced twice now. Printing worked fine before upgrade to 4.5 (from 4.4) I've had similar problem before I beleive. It was caused by some sort of apsfilter misconfiguration. So looks like there is some problem lurking around in the parallel port driver code... >How-To-Repeat: I don't think it's easy to reproduce that. Required some kind of weird apsfilter problem which makes printer go crazy and do something bad to the os. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
