Because this seemed excruciatingly like an IRQ problem, I checked my dmesg output and found 'stray irq 7' on the last line of `dmesg | grep "irq "'... . Long-story-short, (at least in my case), the err was (prob'ly) due to a bad printer cable connection. I rebuilt the kernel, re-connected the cabling, and everything is happy. > > > > Well, if you ever want to try something fancy (like printing PS) there's > some info on setting up WP8 and SO5.1 (using ghostscript) at WP8 and ghostscript is set up, tho not retested. Thanks for the SO reference... that has been on my to-do list for awhile. It'll be interesting to see if StarOffice has its own printcap entry. --The more we can do to make this setup easier, the better. gary > > http://ukug.uk.freebsd.org/~mark/printer.html > > (links at the bottom of the page). > > -- Gary D.
