It shows up on lpt0 also, but not by name, just "Printer". Everything i've found looks like older documentation. Someone told me to just run the SETUP under apsfilter once lpd was running and it should come right up... well, he has a different printer than I do. Also, mine isn't directly supported (880). Is the port supposed to be configured a certain way in the bios? normal, epp (1.7 or 1.9?), ecp? Currently, I'm set at EPP 1.7. Any recent tips or docs on this would be of great help. Here's a look at my dmesg output, so you can see if I'm missing out on something simple: ppc0: at port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa0 ppc0: Generic chipset (NIBBLE-only) in COMPATIBLE mode ppbus0: IEEE1284 device found /NIBBLE Probing for PnP devices on ppbus0: ppbus0: PRINTER ESCPL2,BDC,D4 ppi0: on ppbus0 lpt0: on ppbus0 lpt0: Interrupt-driven port plip0: on ppbus0 Thanks in advance. -Otter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
