The simple answer is that interrupt-driven printing doesn't work for you, and you have to switch to polled printing: lptcontrol -p But this leads to the question why it doesn't work for you and me, and how to debug it. Is it printer, cable, port, or freebsd-config, which is to blame? I don't know how to proceed either...
