I have followed all the instructions on setting up a local printer on the
parallel port in the FreeBSD handbook.
When I try to print using the command

lpr testlp

it gives me the following error

lpr: connect:No such file or directory
jobs queued, but cannot start daemon

I have checked all the files and they all seem to exist with the right
permissions.
It does spool the file to the right directory, but it does not print.

When I send the testlp directly to the printer

cat testlp > /dev/lpt0       everything works fine.

How can I solve this problem?

Thanks,

Alain
