I was trying to make it work crossnetwork, that didn't work, so I decided to try it locally attached to the bsd machine, which made a mess of a bunch of stuff, so I was hopeful I could get it working fast. The problem is it's not printing. I've got lpt0 in the kernel and it shows up, the printer itself shows up as a generic printer. The lpt port is in interrupt driven mode, my /etc/printcap file is right out of the handbook. I've made a logfile, and used the lf command in printcap to instruct bsd to write to it, but I'm getting nothing. I've restarted lpd several times, with no success. If anyone can help please e-mail me. Thanks. Dave. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
