Hello to all,


A interesting problem has happened to me:

1. Description:

- Printer: Epson LQ-550 (24 needle matriz) conected to a ZIP drive =
(parallel interfaces)
- FreeBSD STABLE 2001-11-06

2. Problem:

- I have a 100 pages PDF book to print and I printed about 50 pages. I =
left the rest of the pages in a queue job.
- When I restart the system with the printer on and without papper, the =
system freezes at login time.

I have moused turn on at rc.conf and at boot time when the moused is =
activated I shaked the moused and it works but when the system reaches =
the login prompt, the mouse and all the rest freezes.

To solve this I have to start the system in single-user mode to lprm =
queue print job.


I think that lpd is waiting for paper in the printer so that the queue =
job starts or is wainting that the printer becomes online.

If the printer is off the system starts normaly.


Does this problem happened to anyone?


Thanks very much,

Nuno Teixeira
