FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE, Canon BJC-3000 (color bubblejet), parallel cable.

If I install apsfilter, I can print a test page from the apsfilter setup
script. The apsfilter handbook indicates that the script bypasses lpd to
print that test page. I cannot print any other way that with that test
page.

So, I follow the FreeBSD handbook step by step. Kernel config--check.
/dev/lpt0 in dmesg--check. If I try to send any out put to /dev/lpt0, I
get nothing; no error, nothing. I tried manually setting the device to
both polled and interrupt with lptcontrol. I tried both lptest and
postscript data. I can't seem to product any output to the printer without
apsfilter's test page.

I'm just not sure what the next step is to figuring this out. Help
please...

TIA.
