If I install apsfilter, I can print a test page from the apsfilter setup script. The apsfilter handbook indicates that the script bypasses lpd to print that test page. I cannot print any other way that with that test page. So, I follow the FreeBSD handbook step by step. Kernel config--check. /dev/lpt0 in dmesg--check. If I try to send any out put to /dev/lpt0, I get nothing; no error, nothing. I tried manually setting the device to both polled and interrupt with lptcontrol. I tried both lptest and postscript data. I can't seem to product any output to the printer without apsfilter's test page. I'm just not sure what the next step is to figuring this out. Help please...
