	Hello,

  I have been trying to set up my printer to work so I can print from
Netscape. I have so far not had any luck. I have looked in the log and get
this:

May  7 00:54:32 cybertouch lpd[7564]: cannot execv /dev/lpt0
May  7 00:54:32 cybertouch lpd[7563]: lp: job could not be printed
(cfA019cybertouch.org)

The current /etc/printcap has this working entry:

lp|canon-bubblejet-4000:canon-bubblejet-600:\
        :sh:\
        :lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:lf=/var/log/bjc600.log:\
        :if=/dev/lpt0:if=/usr/local/libexec/bjc600:

which produces the above log 


But if I change the /etc/printcap to what Greg Lehey's FreeBSD book says,
which is this:

#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

I am able to print regular text files.

Can anyone please help me?

Thanks,
