In particular (my favorite three questions about computer problems), what are you doing to try to print, what happens when you do that, and what makes you think this is an error? However, given that you've not modified any files, then the printer won't work - because lpd is disabled by default. You need to enable it. Read /etc/defaults/rc.conf and the rc.conf man page for details. <mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
