I would really like to use freeBSD but need to make sure I can get some basic services before I invest much more time in it. I need to print to a network laser printer (HP Laserwriter 2100TN) which has a JetDirect 600N card and I believe I have set up the /etc/printcap file correctly however when I attempt to send a job to the printer I get an "unknown printer" error. I have tried restarting the lpd daemon to make sure it's reading the printcap file. Same error. I don't believe this is a kernel issue. Thank you in advance, Swami ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
