I pointed out in previous email that lpt0 was ok, the error message was regarding lpt1 (which you probably don't have anyway). I further suggested how you could eliminate the error message; configure it out during boot process or build a new kernel without lpt1. Please note that lpd is the line printer daemon (see man lpd) that usually gets started at boot time by rc.conf, etc. lp is the line printer program that users use to submit a print job (see man lp). You also need to learn how to use the apropos command at a prompt, type: apropos print It will show you the titles from all the pages in the manual that contain "print". You then read each title and decide which man pages you want to read further. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
