I have had the problem listed in the article below for years (4.x and 5.x).
I have been unable to use my Lexmark Optra 312 (USB) with FreeBSD (w/cups)
because there is so often a page of "trash" printed before a print job
begins.  This ONLY happens on FreeBSD and not on Linux 2.4 (w/cups).  I have
posted about it here before, but never a response, but now I have found this
nearly three year old reference to the very same problem and I was hoping
somebody in the know might understand how a fix could be made to the FreeBSD
lpt or ulpt driver.

Thanks in advance,
