You can't print because the 722C uses HP's aweful proprietary PPA protocol. To fix the problem, install /usr/ports/print/pnm2ppa and GhostScript. The directions to set it up in /etc/printcap should be included with pnm2ppa. If not, try http://sourceforge.net/projects/pnm2ppa Alternatively, apsfilter may take care of all that stuff for you, as I recall. (It's 5 AM here, so I don't recall much right now.) As for why your printer is no longer being detected by FreeBSD, I have no idea. Perhaps you should undo what you tried. ;-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
