I cannot get my HP Deskjet 540 to work under FreeBSD. The contents of my input filter (/usr/local/libexec/if) are: printf "\O33&k2G" && cat && printf "\f" && exit 0 exit 2 When I run lptest 20 5 | lpr the printer feeds a sheet but doesn't print anything on it. If I remove the first printf statement, it prints, but it has the "stair-step" effect described in the Handbook (which is why I added "printf "\O33&k2G"" in the first place)I copied the script verbatim from the Handbook, and I don't have any idea what's wrong. If it's supposed to have a zero instead of an O, that's not the problem, because I tried both. I hope I didn't ramble on too much in this message, and that you can understand my lame attempts to describe the problem :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
