Hm
Excuse my for my previous post, read down/top instead top/down,
Stephen,
Perhaps try searching google for similiar options, then try figuring out
stuff yourself, and THEN ask us how it works, it gives great education for
yourself also ;)
Cheers

Hi Kris,
Turned on printer to make following tests
# dmesg
.....
ppbus0: <HEWLETT-PACKARD DESKJET 690C> MLC,PCL,PML
plip0: <PLIP network interface> on ppbus0
lpt0: <Printer> on ppbus0
lpt0: Interrupt-driven port
ppi0: <Parallel I/O> on ppbus0
......
ls -l /dev/lpt0
crw------- 1 root wheel 16, 0 Mar 8 22:48 /dev/lpt0
It is there.
I skipped following steps
1)
# ./MAKEDEV port
and
2)
# lptcontrol -i -d /dev/lpt0
(to set interrupt-driven mode for lpt0)
and
3)
# lptcontrol -p -d /dev/lpt0
(to set polled-mode for lptN)
Jumped to;
# lptest > /dev/lpt0
only strange symbols printed and printing continued without stop until I
removed the paper tray. Communication between printer and port seemed
working
Kindly advise how to fix the test printing error.
TIA
B.R.
Stephen
