I have FreeBSD-3.0 RELEASE  and a HP deskjet 600c Printer.

when i type the test syntax of *lptest > /dev/lpt0* it will print the
characters on the first (upper) line.  But, when i do subsequent tests with
the same *test line*,  won't print Jack.... just blank sheets of paper get
thrown at me by the printer.  In addition, when i try to print a simple text
file with *cat file-name > /dev/lpt0*  the files pile up in the que (lpq)
but never printer. <-- not even blank sheets of paper.

Needless to say   {help}
