Through Samba Windows clients can print to a LaserJet 2100. Here's the thing - when the LaserJet has a problem (say, runs out of paper) the FreeBSD box is locked solid - literally won't accept a keystroke on the console. As soon as the printer is happy again (paper replaced, say) the console comes back to life. Even if the printer doesn't have a problem for a brief moment on each page the screen response seems to be very slow (it may in fact be frozen but for a very short period, hard to tell) Has anyone experienced this themselves ? Does anyone have any ideas what I should do to fix it ? The printcap entry looks like : lp|lj|Laserjet 2100 printer:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:mx#0\ :sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:\ :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\ :ff=\033E\033&k2G\033&l0O\033(8U:fo:sh:tr=\033E: Any ideas ? thanks richard shea To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
