I am having trouble with installing a HP LaserJet 6L on my 4.4-RELEASE system. I've read the docs but without any luck. To configure the system I have installed apsfilter and used its SETUP script. This is my printcap file: lp|ps|lj|laserjet;r=600x600;q=medium;c=gray;p=a4;m=auto:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ :if=/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/laserjet:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/laserjet/log:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/laserjet/acct:\ :mx#0:\ :sh: # APS1_END - don't delete this The problem is that when I'm running "lpr " to print something, the printer keeps printing "white" papers and can only be stoped by stopping the power supply for it. Using "echo hello > /dev/lpt0" works without any problems. Have I missed something in the configuration of the printer?
