When I tried to "lpr filename", the printer responded to it for awhile by= =20 moving its cartridge holder, but nothing got actually printed. That was=20 after I rebooted the PC. For the second time when I tried to "lpr filena= me",=20 there were no responses from the printer at all. After each reboots, the= =20 printer acknowledges the commands for once only, and just sits there idle= =2E I have followed the directions under the title "Printing" in the FreeBSD=20 Handbook, and of course, replacing the "lp0" as "ulpt0". Here's the outp= ut=20 that I get: =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D bash-2.05b$ dmesg | grep ulpt0 ulpt0: EPSON USB Printer, rev 1.10/1.00, addr 2, iclass 7/1 =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D So, this means that the OS already acked the printer. Am I right? But i= t=20 still does not print. Does it have to do with that PostScript thing? Please help me out with this problem guys!
