I only replaced the rm:printer.mynet.com to rm:192.168.1.15 When I typed http://192.168.1.15 in my Mozilla Browser, I was able to see some details of my Printer and I found out that the Printer has an IP Address to 192.168.1.15 with subnet 255.255.255.0 it also has a Host Name = FX-095574 and found that most of the settings are all dynamically set. > create the spool directories you just mentioned: > > mkdir /var/spool/output/lpd-ps > mkdir /var/spool/output/lpd-text > I did these too. > start the lpd daemon: > > lpd > > And (assuming all is well) put a flag in /etc/rc.conf to make sure > that lpd is started for you at every boot: > > lpd_enable="YES" # Run the line printer daemon.
