Hello,
I'm trying to get my HP Deskjet 660Cse printer working under FreeBSD
2.2.1-RELEASE without much luck. I've rebuilt my kernel with the
'device lpt0 at isa? port? tty irq 5 vector lptintr'
line in my kernel's conf file and restarted. As root, doing a
'lptest >/dev/lpt0' results in having a page being printed with the
top line containg the first 79 characters lptest is supposed to print
with a following line containing a single double quote '"' aligned
all the way to the right. After this page is fed from my printer 2
more blank pages are fed and the printer's working light will
continue to blink until I reset the printer which causes a final
blank page to be fed out.
When printing with 'lpr' I'll either get a single blank page or the
text I was trying to print except that it has the "staircase effect".
Here's the contents of /etc/printcap:
lp|HP Deskjet 660Cse:\
:lp=/dev/lpt0:sh:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:lf=/var/log/lp.log:
/var/log/lp.log is empty.
Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
