Hi there, Recently I installed FreeBSD 3.1 on my IBM clone machine, which has an AMD-K6/233 CPU, 64 MB RAM and MS windows 98 as well. The installation process was fine, but I can’t make my bubble jet printer (Canon’s BJ-200ex) to work with FreeBSD 3.1. I followed the instructions on chapter 14 of The Complete FreeBSD (2 second edition) and section 7 of FreeBSD handbook. I checked for the existence of all the directories and files mentioned in file /etc/printcap, seeing no problem, but the result of command “lptest 20 5 | lpr” is always two line error messages. One is “lpr: connect: No such file or directory”, another line is “job queued, but cannot start daemon”. If I issue command “ lptest > /dev/lpt0”, the result is full page of digits and characters. I don’t know what I did wrong or what step I missed, could you give some hints? Thank you in advance.
