Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I just started lpd on my freebsd almost current system. When i use lpr to print a small sample file (say /etc/rc for instance) it prints it but it is _SLOW_. It took almost an hour to print the file. I'm printing to a panason kxp-2135 printer (which is dot-matrix). Still, its not that slow a printer. Anyone have any clues on this? I'm not starting lpd with any command line options and my /etc/printcap file looks thustly: -----printcap---- # @(#)printcap 5.3 (Berkeley) 6/30/90 lp|local line printer:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs: -----ENDS------ which is the default, uncommented (and using /dev/lpt0 instead of /dev/lp). All help appreciated, nat. -Steve
