Hi Tim,
An indirect way of configuring your printer. Install & configure
sysutils/webmin port. Go to Hardware -> Printer administration -> Add a
new printer.

Subject: please help me print...
FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE, Canon BJC-3000 (color bubblejet), parallel cable.
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...
TIA.
