I'm sure someone has this one solved, so I've decided to ask it here before putting another week of effort and confusion. I'm trying to get FreeBSD 4.6.2-RELEASE to print to an HP laserjet 4050tn printer. The printer is networked with its own spooling card (Jetdirect or some such thing). I Have the following in my /etc/printcap: lp|laserjet:\ :rm=209.58.140.26:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\ :lp=:rp=raw: and I'm able to print postscript (finally) except it scales to 2 pages per sheet - great when you're just trying to scan code out in the hammock, but not when you're printing your vacation request. Anyway, trying to print text just gives me a blank page with '----' across the top, and a basic burst page with User, Host, Class, and Job. In my /var/spool/lpd/lp directory, I have the following: # ls /var/spool/lpd/lp .seq lock status No filters are being used at this point, because everytime I try, I get something like this: lprps[40758]: ioctl(TIOCFLUSH): Inappropriate ioctl for device Anyone else have better luck with this?
