When trying to print using lpr ( or with cp file /dev/lpt0 having previously killed lpd ) the printer (HP Deskjet 500c) pulls in the sheet of paper and prints a couple of characters. It then hangs for 30 seconds and again prints a bit. The status light on the printer keeps wildly blinking during all of this. As though there would be a lot of transmission going on. Has anybody experienced something similar to this ? Is anybody using a HP Deskjet 500C with FreeBSD 2.0 ? Is /dev/lpt0 the correct device ? BTW: Everything works ok from Dos. But who likes dos :-((( Thanks for the help Christian -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TopLink GbR, Internet Service Center ck@toplink.de, info@toplink.de Christian Kratzer Phone: +49 7452 87174 Fax: +49 7452 87175 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
