I used the if-simple script from the handbook. I have read the chapter on printing (hdbk), and the man pages for lpc, lpr, lptest. dmesg shows that FreeBSD sees and recognizes lpt0 on ppbus0. lpc status all tells me printing is enabled, spooling enabled, printer idle. Still, I receive no output from either lptest or sending a text file to the spooler. What am I missing? Oh, yeah...please mail to joshualokken@attbi.com , as this is my questions address.
