I searched through the archives of the mailing lists for lexmark, and tried all the suggestions there (mostly changing the printcap file). my current printcap looks like: lp:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\ :mx#0:\ :sh:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp/lp.errors:\ :if=/usr/local/libexec/if-simple: /usr/local/libexec/if-simple exsists (it's the one suggested for troubleshooting in the handbook) and it has the correct permissions. After I try lptest 20 5 | lpr -Pprinter-name, i get no errors (either from sdtout or /var/spool/lpd/lp.errors), and nothing prints out. The printer works fine in windows (of course). So I'm stumped. Any suggestions? Thank you, Karl Mueller FreeBSD-2.2.8-RELEASE To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
