Could someone help?  I would really like to use freeBSD but need to make 
sure I can get some basic services before I invest much more time in it.

I need to print to a network laser printer (HP Laserwriter 2100TN) which has 
a JetDirect 600N card and I believe I have set up the /etc/printcap file 
correctly however when I attempt to send a job to the printer I get an 
"unknown printer" error.

I have tried restarting the lpd daemon to make sure it's reading the 
printcap file.  Same error.

I don't believe this is a kernel issue.

Thank you in advance,

Swami
