Nope it is not so neither start nor enable nor combination of them would start the printer,only up lp would do its job.What is the reason? On other systems(linux,solaris) i have seen they come out with just starting lpd during startup(in interrupt-driven as well as in polled mode).Both use BSD daemon so i dare to guess it is also under fbsd somehow possible to come out just with starting of lpd during ,is it not? > > Yet to statemnet about just few bytes. > > I use apsfilter and programm claims > > that it could handle TIFF format but i got reverse staircase > > effect while trying to print out some man pages.So question > > #2 is: > > How can i handle reverse staircase effect in this particular > > case? > This is odd, manpages aren't in TIFF format. I thought TIFF is format for troff prepared documents I think it would be great if you could provide us with your printcap file so we can see exactly what's going on.
