Hello, I tried this question on the newbies list first but didn't get a response so I'm trying here. I am having trouble printing from my HP Deskjet 710C printer. It is hooked up via parallel port and I can print fine with it from Windows. However, I can't get it to work in FreeBSD. I followed the instructions here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/printing-intro-setup.html Everything seems to be fine. But when I try to test the printer using a command similar to this: # cat file > /dev/lptN or this: lptest > /dev/lpt0 nothing happens. Does anyone have a clue what I might have done wrong? Thanks for the help /Brian
