I've started to set up printing on a FreeBSD 2.2-9706xx-RELENG box and the
instructions from the Handbook seem to be pretty thorough. In fact,
printing seems to work from the box to the Panasonic KX-P4400 printer I
have hooked up. However, when I spool something (with "lptest 80 50 |
lpr"), the printer receives part of the output right away, then it WAITS
FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES, then seems to get the rest of the output and
prints it. The filter I'm using does emit a form feed at the end.
Does anyone have any idea why printing pauses for so long? I haven't
changed much from the GENERIC kernel except to add tun0. Could this pause
be coming from whether the printer is configured for polling or
interrupts?
Thanks,
dw
