Dear Sirs or Madam; I have installed and am trying to configure FreeBSD 3.2. When trying to set up the print spooler using Chapter 16 of "The Complete FreeBSD" by Greg Lehey and Chapter 7 of the Free BSD Handbook by Sean Kelly I am getting an error that I cannot trace to it's origin, perhaps someone would help? My box is self built using an Asus BX MB w/ a 300MgH Intel Celeron CPU /w 64 Mg of RAM. I have two (2) printers, a HP LaserJet 6MP and a HP DeskJet 890cxi. For the purposes of this discussion I have trying to configure the LaserJet 6MP. When I run the command: lptest > /dev/lpt0; the printer starts immediately and produces four blank pages. Upon running the command: lptest 20 5 | lpr; I receive an error message; Sep 22 14:04:44 nova lpd[35421]: /dev/lp: No such file or directory I remember reading that there is not "lp" command in FreeBSD. Also when writing the /etc/printcap file there is not mention of /dev/lp anywhere. It's obvious that this entry is located somewhere in a command file and I'll be hanged if I can find it. Would anyone who knows how I should repair this please be so kind as to help?
