Hi there, I am running FreeBSD-3.4-STABLE I installed apsfilter from ports. Using HP-deskjet-690C everything print well, until between one job and another, weirdness start, first I get a message telling me : lp filter "f" terminated, (termsig=100) lp job could not be printed <print job number>. the nice thing is the job is already printer, without trouble. then, Sporadically, (i.e. not constantly) the printer stops before the next job, and the form feed starts blinking, no problem in the paper tray or paper. next, I try to put it off, it refuses, so I shutdown the power button, and restarts the printer. and then it goes off, printing scrambled things, and wastes enormous amounts of paper, each with some ambigious incoherent letters. I have to ; power off the printer to save my coronaries. lpc stop lp rm lock (in the printer spool directory) ps -aux | grep lpd kill lpd by id or killall lpd restart lpd lpc restart lp and the circle goes on again, prints one, two, or few jobs, and again starts this brain storming experience. any clue whats wrong with that. my setup is pretty much standard, and config files are defaults. HEEEEELLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPP. TIA ===== MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!
