Ok, here's another one...
I'd like to set my printer (parallel) port to "polling" or "extended" mode
using "lptcontrol". However, issuing the following command:
lptcontrol -p -d /dev/lpt0
fails with the message: "Device is busy".
"lsof" doesn't show anything open on that device, and I've killed lpd to
see if that may work. I've even put it in /etc/rc before the lpd is
started. No luck.
The system is FreeBSD 3.1-STABLE with an Asus P2B motherboard, using the
on-board parallel port.
Thanks.
