I have a HP Deskjet 3420, "ulpt0: hp deskjet 3420, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 3, iclass 7/1". This morning i set up my /etc/printcap like this: # HP Deskjet 3420 lp|lj|HP Deskjet 3420:\ :lp=/dev/ulpt0:sd=/var/spool/lpd:\ :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:sh:mx#0:\ :if=/usr/local/libexec/lpfilter:\ I also edited my /etc/rc.conf to lpd_enable="YES" And then i rebooted and tried to print something: cat /etc/rc.conf > /dev/ulpt0 And nothing printed. Any suggestions on what i'm doing wrong? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
