It was working yesterday with linux. Actually, I'm wondering if the handbook is out of sync.

The manual says to >1.Type: > # lptcontrol -i -u N > to set interrupt-driven mode for lptN. but I get: fac13ttyp3:/dev>lptcontrol -i -u 0 lptcontrol: illegal option -- u usage: lptcontrol -i | -p | -s | -e [-d device] Is there a more recent manual, or am I missing hte obvious again? hawk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
