hi bryce

 i have made some changes:

this is my printcap file:

lp|local line printer:\
	:sh:\
	:lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd


this is my rf.conf file (as it pertains to printing)

lpd_enable="YES"
daemon_flags_enable="YES"

this is line is my kernel:

device		lpt0	at isa? port? tty irq 7 vector lptintr
(printer is LPT1 on windows)

this is how i try to print something:

prompt# lpd
prompt# lpr .cshrc
prompt# lpq
  <returns this:> no entries

the following does nothing:

prompt# lptest > /dev/lpt0

is there something i am missing? is something configured incorrectly?are
there some other files i have to modify?
incidently, i have an HP DeskJet 712c printer.

thanks
-aaron
