[-- Attachment #1 --] I am still unable to print. I have checked all possible things pointed out in the FreeBSD book and nothing seems to work. - I did "lptest > /dev/lpt0" and it returned "cannot create /dev/lpt0: no such device or addresses" though /dev/lpt0 does exist. - "lptest | lpr" yielded "waiting for lp to become ready (offline?)", but my printer is turned on. - lpd is running at startup so I don't need to run lpd manually. I don't think it's a hardware problem because I am able to do bi-directional printing from my other partition which is Windows 95/Windows NT. I have all of the following lines required for parallel printing: controller ppbus0 device ppc0 at isa? port? tty irq 7 device lpt0 at ppbus? I use an HP 722C Deskjet printer. -Jeffrey [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.2314.1000" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face="Futura Bk BT" size=2>I am still unable to print.
