Hi there, I'm trying to make a simple printer server out of old i386 box. The relevant part of the kernel configuration file reads: #-------------------------------------------------------------------- # Parallel-Port Bus # controller ppbus0 controller ppbus1 # Supported interfaces: device lpt0 at ppbus0 #Parallel Printer device lpt1 at ppbus1 #Parallel Printer # ppc ISA-bus parallel port interfaces. # device ppc0 at isa? port "IO_LPT1" tty irq 7 device ppc1 at isa? port "IO_LPT2" tty irq 5 device ppc2 at isa? port "IO_LPT3" tty irq 5 The FreeBSD indeed recognizes ppc0 and ppc1 devices and also lpt0 and lpt1 are properly made on the /dev directory. Furthermore, printing on the lpt1 printer works perfectly. However, printing on the lpt0 does not work as it should; the printer (old Fujitsu) prints a line and then waits for a couple seconds (approx. 4 seconds) and prints the next line (and so on). Indeed, the whole file is printed out, but this is not how I'd like it working -- i.e. in the same way as lpt1. What do I need to change? What am I doing wrong? I will greatly appreciated any/all help! Thanx in advance! Andrej To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
