Am I supposed to be able to "echo hello > /dev/lpt0" to test my parallel printer? Needless to say, it doesn't work. It just hangs for a minute and comes back "/dev/lpt0: Device busy". I tried rebooting with the printer connected and on-line, but it made no difference. Machine is 486DX33, FreeBSD is 0210-SNAP. lpd is not running. lpt0 is configured in the kernel (standard config) and is recognised at boot-up: lpt0 at 0x3bc-0x3c3 irq 7 on isa lpt0: Interrupt-driven port lp0: TCP/IP capable interface Aled -- aledm@relay-europe.ps.net | tel +44 973 207987 Perot Systems Europe Ltd. | fax +44 181 476 2419
