* Plethora86@aol.com <Plethora86@aol.com> [20001028 03:26]: =>Hi. I'm trying to get my HP Deskjet 697C to work with FreeBSD. I've never =>configured a printer with FreeBSD before so I'm a bit stuck. The printer is =>on LPT0 and appears to be recognized. But when I try to test communication =>with lptest, it says the device is busy. I had enough difficulty setting up a printer, HP DeskJet 895c until I grabbed apsfilter from the ports. Pls try it....the setup is so straightforward....after compiling or after installing via /stand/sysinstall, just run the SETUP file - sh /usr/local/apsfilter/SETUP About the 'device is busy' I'm not sure because I never saw that but you may want to post your dmesg output. I can have a look and we can go through the problem together..I'll try to help even though I am not one of those top notch FreeBSD guys.. -Wash -- Odhiambo Washington Inter-Connect Ltd., wash@iconnect.co.ke 5th Flr Furaha Plaza Tel: 254 11 222604 Nkrumah Rd., Fax: 254 11 222636 PO Box 83613 MOMBASA, KENYA.
