First, I looked at the log fie and I noticed that there were bunch of messages saying that there is no "/dev/lp" file. I thought in /etc/printcap file, ":lp=/dev/lpt0" line takes care of that, but I guess I was wrong. So I made a link by "# ln -s /dev/lpt0 /dev/lp". Now, I can print from Win98 with samba but it keep add two pages-- one in the beginning and one at the end. I though the first page was header page, but adding or subtracting ":sh:" in printercap has no effect. And when I tried to print from the FreeBSD printer server machine, it only prints 3 blank pages -- e.g. "lptest 20 5 | lpr" prints 3 blank page. What am I doing wrong here? Can anyone help me?
