Is anyone using a Lexmark 1100 'Color JetPrinter' under FreeBSD? My wife just bought us one and although it's detected, I can't seem to figure out what device to run lptest to.. Probing for PnP devices on ppbus0: ppbus0: <Lexmark Lexmark 1000> PRINTER LEXELC ppi0: <generic parallel i/o> on ppbus 0 plip0: <PLIP network interface> on ppbus 0 But if I run 'lptest > /dev/lpt0' I get the following.. [root@blues:~]# lptest > /dev/lpt0 /dev/lpt0: Device not configured. [root@blues:~]# In my kernel config I have the following.. device nlpt0 at ppbus? I've also tried it with just 'lpt0' instead of 'nlpt0', and it detects it as a generic printer instead of the Lexmark, but when 'lptest > /dev/lpt0' is run, the printer tries to print but just stops and I have to reboot to get the port back. Are these things Windows only and am I just wasting my time? Any help or advice would be appreciated.
