There may still be a previous print job in the queue. You can remove=20 all print jobs (if you're logged in as root) by running lprm -Plp - > When I sent him a pdf file it started printing trash and after a lot=20 > of restarts and stops and reboots it always prints ther same without=20 > stop. The LJ6L can't directly understand a PDF, and would print binary=20 garbage. So it's doing what it can. If the test print worked, the next step would be to install ghostscript=20 (/usr/ports/print/ghostscript-gpl) and update the printcap file to use=20 the ifhp filter as shown in "Simulating PostScript on Non PostScript=20 Printers" section of the Handbook. But that won't work unless the basic printer setup is functional. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA --===============0787561354==--
