Problem Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; x-mac-type="54455854"; x-mac-creator="4D4F5353" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello: I am a FreeBSD newborn with a Win95 machine converted less than one month ago. I have a NEC SilentWriter II model 90 Printer configured to the parallel port, with a parallel cable connect to my Intel Petium II 450 running FreeBSD. The problem is everytime I do a lpr or enscript(should I try other commands ??) the printer flashes with the following messages but no pages printed: ready...processing...waiting....ready Clearly, it is receiving something from the machine (ascii or PS ?) What is not configured here ? What seemed to be the problem ? The printer print fine after I switched back to LocalTalk and connect it back to my Mac. Any insights will be sincerely appreciated. thanks phillip_wong@email.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
