Hi, I can't set up my printer to work to save my life. I have a Hewlett
Packard Deskjet 670c. I ahve followed the instructions in the FreeBSD
handbook to a 'T'. Every time I give teh command "lptest 20 5 | lpr
-Psnoopy" I get the following error message-
lpr: connect: No such file or directory
jobs queued, but cannot start daemon.
I dont know what is going wrong. here is a copy of my /etc/printcap if
this explains anything, even tho I followed the instructions.

:sh:\
:lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/snoopy:lf=/var/log/snoopy.log:\
:if=/usr/local/libexec/if-simple:
Thanks a lot.
