I looked at the handbook, and figured that sensably enough, the first thing to do was to try lptest > lpt0 to see if everything was talking nicely. After a second or 5, it printed one line of the ascii charactor set across the top of the page (from ! to o) and then a " at the righthand end of the next line, then ejected that sheet of paper, loaded another, and sat there. The trouble shooting section of the handbook doesn't appear to deal with this situation. For the record, I also attempted to install apsfilter6 - it installed ok, but the test page printing took forever (I mean hours and hours) and nothing seems to be able to print - actually, it doesn't look like apsfilter wrote anything to the /etc/printcap file. For the record, aplicable hardware is: Duron 800 on Asus A7V Deskjet 812c on the parallel port dmesg: Copyright (c) 1992-2001 The FreeBSD Project.
