I am trying to print to a HP Deskjet 672, and about 1/3 to 1/12 of the way into printing a document, it begins to print out weird characters, and ejecting paper's. Printing worked fine with FreeBSD 2.2.x, and after upgrading to FreeBSD 3.1, printing is terrible. to print a file, I would use lpr -Pblah f1040sd.ps, which passes the file through ghostscript, and then back to lpr where it is then printed out through /dev/lpt0. I know FreeBSD 3.1 uses nlpt, but after doing a MAKEDEV nlpt0, it says "nlpt0 - no such device name". I am assuming that /dev/lpt0 has to actually be using the new driver. It detects everything fine, ppc0 at 0x3bc irq 7 on isa ppc0: Generic chipset (ECP/PS2/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode ppc0: FIFO with 16/16/16 bytes threshold nlpt0: <generic printer> on ppbus 0 nlpt0: Interrupt-driven port The only other diffrence is that I am using ghostscript 5.5, but that can't make a diffrence can it?
