The command: lptest | lpr -P lp-test print's to the printer successfuly. lpr -P lp test.ps doesn't print anything, but it is sending to the server (see below). I have tried cups. I have the exact ppd file (ML-1740spl2.ppd) for the samsung ML-1740 printer, and on the web admin page it shows the printer is idle and accepting jobs, the jobs get sent, and it even sounds like its getting ready to print...... yet nothing gets printed. :-( Also kprint (the goal of the whole thing) won't print anything, not even using the working 'lp-test' printcap entry. Nor do any of the "test printer" pages get printed, though they are getting spooled on the XP server. I spent 20+ hours yesterday trying to get this working, but am in need of some guidance on this. Is anyone successfuly printing to a XP LPD server? No I can't hang the printer off the freebsd box. I wish....
