What are you testing it with? Postscript or ascii files?
If the Printer is not postscript and you are trying to print
postscript, you will need to install Ghostscript from the ports
collection. If you are installing Ghostscript the apsfilter port is a
*must* as well ~ it will set up the printing with much less hair loss.
