Is this something which used to work for you on a previous version of freebsd, or is this the first time you've tried to set up this printer with freebsd? >When I check the print que, it's empty.

If you forget to restart lpd, will jobs keep disappearing? Or is it just the first job which disappears? What does your printcap entry look like? Also, do you have a /var/log/lpd-errs file? Does that have any messages in it? -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
