Hi Folx,
I installed FreeBSD last week and nearly everything works fine. I have
a DeskJet 550C connected to my first parallel port, and want this to
be the system printer. Whenever I send something to /dev/lpt1
directly, it will be printed "as is". Whenever I do this via lpd using
a simple printcap-entry, only confused lines and some formfeeds will
be printed.
Does anyone know a useful printcap-entry and/or the right position of
the dip-switches i have to set on my printer?
Thanks for any help -- Wolfii
