I am using the alternative HP890 driver, with absolutely no suprises. I wonder what is wrong? I have never used a Canon printer, so I don't know if there might be a driver selection problem of some kind? Is the printer in a wierd, non-volatile mode of some sort? Did you print with another OS, prior to trying to use it on FreeBSD? -- John | Never try to teach a pig to sing, dyson@freebsd.org | it just makes you look stupid, jdyson@nc.com | and it irritates the pig.
