A line in /etc/rc.conf: lpd_enable="YES" 2. An entry in /etc/printcap. See "man printcap" for more details. If it's set up, you will be able to print from the shell like this: $ lpr file.name.c You may also need to correct your /etc/printcap file later and install the filter: ....:of=/usr/libexec/lpr/lpfilter: Anyway, start from here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/printing.html Good luck! -- Alexander Pohoyda <alexander.pohoyda@gmx.net>
