I have installed apsfilter and ran ./configure and ran thru the setup
dialog, and installed ghostscript 6, both from the ports collection,
and ran the setup on ghostscript. I can run lptest just fine. I have
lpd running when I check top and when I try to print to lpr I get
nothing, just entries in the print queue. When I run lpq I get a
first line error -
Warning: No daenom present
Yet it is running when I look at top.
I need to be able to have this so my wife can print from a dual boot
linux/winblows machine, as well as my two sons' winblows machines.
This is a Epson ColorStylus 400 connected to lpt1 on my FBSD box.
I have gone thru the chapter on printing in The Complete FreeBSD and
am stuck on the spooler not working. I've tried to print from a
number of differant apps, including text and graphics. They all end
up in the queue and stay there.

 Here is my printcap file -
