I just installed FreeBSD 2.2.2 using CD rom. When attempting to use lpr command to print a text file, nothing happens. The only thing that I noticed at boot up time was that lpt0 was irq 7 and that lpt1 was not probed due to conflict with lpt0. How can I get printer to work, ie., to be recognized? system Specs: HP pavillion 166 mhz 32 MG Ram 2 hardrives with freebsd using 2nd hardrive 2.4+GB Printer is Hewlett Packard Desljet 820 Cse Any suggestion are very much appreciated. Please note that this machine is not being used in a production environment. I am attempting to learn UNIX at this time and have a ways to go. Therefore, please do not consider this to be an urgent request for info. Just need info when convenient. Thanks, Don Humphreys drhumph@ibm.net
