This does not make much sense to me... I do not see any "signal 41" (or 0x29) in signal.h. >I am running >> uname -a >FreeBSD backup.freebsbsd.org 4.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE #0: Sat Apr 21 >10:54:49 GMT 2001 jkh@narf.osd.bsdi.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC >i386 >> Hmm, well, it might help if you were a little more up-to-date, as the source code that I'm looking at is 4.6-stable. >The following is my printcap details > >lp|Printer1 auto:\ > :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ > :if=/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\ > :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\ > :lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp/log:\ > :af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/acct:\ > :mx#0:\ > :sh: First you would want to figure out which step is causing the problem. I assume you mean you have a printer connected directly to your freebsd box, and you are using samba so that Windows PC's can send print jobs to that printer. With the above, can you send any print job to /dev/lpt0 ? (just "cat" a file onto that device name). If that works OK, then what happens if you use 'lpr' on your freebsd box to send a job to that print queue? -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.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
