Hello to all,


A interesting problem has happened to me:

1. Description:

- Printer: Epson LQ-550 (24 needle matriz) conected to a ZIP drive (parallel interfaces)
- FreeBSD STABLE 2001-11-06

2. Problem:

- I have a 100 pages PDF book to print and I printed about 50 pages. I left the rest of the pages in a queue job.
- When I restart the system with the printer on and without papper, the system freezes at login time.

I have moused turn on at rc.conf and at boot time when the moused is activated I shaked the moused and it works but when the system reaches the login prompt, the mouse and all the rest freezes.

To solve this I have to start the system in single-user mode to lprm queue print job.


I think that lpd is waiting for paper in the printer so that the queue job starts or is wainting that the printer becomes online.

If the printer is off the system starts normaly.


Does this problem happened to anyone?


Thanks very much,

Nuno Teixeira
