Is it possible to set up the printer to do polling in FreeBSD? The only reference I see to polling in the man page is in "BUGS" and it only says that: Polling timeouts are controlled by counting loop iterations rather than timers, and so are dependent on CPU speed. I'd love to get this resolved some day. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
