Subject: Printing Problems
Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org
Precedence: bulk

I recently installed FreeBSD vers 2.0.5.  It works great except for printing.
I have a HP Lasejet IIP attached to lpt1.  No matter what filter I use it either
prints garbage or nothing at all.  So, then I tried catting a file and
redirecting
it to the /dev/lpwhatever port and the same garbage came out.  Is it my
printer (but it
works fine under DOS)?  I already got the lattest lpt.c and recompiled the
kernel
but that didn't help.

Thank you in advance for your prompt response.
