>From: Toby Swanson <toby@milkyway.org> I can't remember the exact command, but the trick is to set the lpt0 device to "polled" mode. It is there somewhere in the printing docs or howto's >I have set up a print server running FreeBSD 2.1.7. The hardware >seems to be set up correctly. When I "type" a file to lpt1: in DOS >the printer prints it immediatly. When I cat a file to /dev/lpt0 in >FreeBSD it prints a line, waits a second or two, prints a line, waits >a second or two, and so on until the file has printed. Using the print >spooler gets the same results. I checked the man pages, FAQ, >Complete FreeBSD, no hits. The mailing list archive had one hit, but >the message was not available.
