I used the standard lptest > /dev/lpt0 and got a decent looking line of fonts printed on my page. I then tried to activate and use a spool. It didnt work. when I did lptest | lpr the page came out the printer, but there was nothing on it. I have a Dell Dimension XPS, 20 Gig HDD, 192 Meg RAM. The printer is a NEC Superscript 870 Laser printer. Are there any kind spirits out there who are prepared to help fellow homo sapien that is in desperate need of some FreeBSD guidance?? Thanks !!!!!!! :-) Uriel Following is the contents of /etc/printcap: lp|local line printer:\ :sh:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:sh:mx#0 :if=/usr/local/libexec/lpfilter: :lf=/usr/local/libexec/lpfilter:\ :lf=/var/log/lpd.log: lpfilter is a script that I copied from Greg Lehey's book.
