Hello,
I tried this question on the newbies list first but didn't get a response
so I'm trying here.
I am having trouble printing from my HP Deskjet 710C printer. It
is hooked up via parallel port and I can print fine with it from
Windows. However, I can't get it to work in FreeBSD. I followed the
instructions here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/printing-intro-setup.html
Everything seems to be fine. But when I try to test the printer using a
command similar to this:
# cat file > /dev/lptN
or this:
lptest > /dev/lpt0
nothing happens. Does anyone have a clue what I might have done wrong?
Thanks for the help
/Brian
