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.
