Thanks about your answer. But I did that already. I say my problem again.
I made kernel for printer following the procedure on book, 'The complete
Free BSD by Greg Lehey' and Man page about 'ppc,ppbus'
My configuration of printer is (ver. 3.2 of FreeBSD) :
device ppc0 at isa? port? tty  irq 7
controller ppbus0
lpt0 at ppbus?

I checked  these ones on the dmesg after booting the system.

Tried to test printer with lptest like 'lptest > /dev/lpt0'
Printer made big noise and hang-up. 
On the screen showed like :
#>lptest > /dev/lpt0

                     <-- no answer and big noise but sometimes print working
in the right edge side. Did not go center.

[ctrl]+c
#>lptest > /dev/lpt0
busy

Usually, Symptom is
-Do not working anything.
-Working but no output and Head of printer is moving withine small length at
right edge side. Also No feed paper out.

I am tired to set up printer with FreeBSD. Pls Tell me what is solution or
document to solve this problem.

Thanks.

Sincerely yours,

Park, No Il

Press the 'form-feed' button on the printer to eject the page in memory.
