The printer works fine, via the parallel port, on Windows 98. Why, when I move the cable to the FreeBSD server and execute a lptest > /dev/lpt0 do I only get a /dev/lpt0: Device busy. response. What do I have to do to make the device not busy? Gerry Isaacson gerry@tgico.com (952) 541-0051 cell: (612) 940-9164 http://www.tgico.com
