Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Ok, being an old *nix person (ok, so not THAT old) I noticed that FreeBSD had an apsfilter port. I thought that made all the sense in the world since apsfilter was single handedly responsable for me being able to print on my old slackware box. So I figured I'd give it a shot on FreeBSD, in its brand new version 6 form. Other than the fact that I fell asleep while it was installing :) ..it went on just fine (that must be a killer port to maintain). The setup was cool, I love the fact that version 6 supports so many printers, espcially my deskjet 812. So I set everything up so that it should work, and finally got around to printing the test page. The test page printed out flawlessly - but it took almost 24 hours all by itself. Does it always take that long for the test page to print? Is this a bug related to the fact that the driver for the 812 is new? Any ideas? -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Drew Sanford Email: lauasanf@bellsouth.net ICQ: 8690555 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= "My mother said to me, if you become a soldier, you'll be a general, if you become a monk, you'll end up as the pope.
