It is connected via a USB port. It works fine under windows but under the latest stable when I try to print somehing, it grunts a bit but that is all. If I force a paper feed all I get is a blank sheet paper. However what I had queued for printing is no longer in the queue. All the expected messages turn up when I boot or turn the printer on, so there is obviously connectivity, but no output. Secondly "lpr" no longer honours the environment variable setting of "PRINTER" I have to use -P to get the file in the right queue. Any clues ? -- Regards Cliff Sarginson The Netherlands Email: cls@raggedclown.net Tel : +31 (0)10 4764595 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
