>Description:
I have two servers on my network running FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE. I'm trying to set one of them as a printer server, using a HP LaserJet 3100. Quite simple. :)

I've read the handbook instructions about setting up a printer on a FreeBSD printer and it just don't work. I've tried everything... tried setting lptcontrol -e, -i, -p... tried using apsfilter, cat > /dev/lpt0, cat >/dev/ppbus0.... Tried messing with the BIOS settings...

Then I tried to plug the printer on the other machine (another FreeBSD-4.2-STABLE). Well... no luck at all.

Here is my DMESG output:

I just don't know what can be happening. I've read something about some printers that depend on the Windows GDI to work, but this same printer is supported on Linux! 

I don't like Linux, please, help me!
>How-To-Repeat:
Get a LaserJet 3100 Printer and any (I think) FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE system. Just try anything you want to make it print. It *won't* work.
