Summary: netbsd.0 lp0 not working
Keywords: lp0

I can't get  lp0 to print anything but a consistant pattern of random
garbage under netbsd-1.0, never tried printing under netbsd-0.9. I have
the /etc/printcap  set up fine as far as I can tell. I am trying to print
to an HP 520 inkjet which works fine on DOS. 

the system is a  netbsd-1.0
486/33
8MB
2 com 1 par ports
SCSI card
pretty basic

the pattern output no matter what file is printer is the two following lines
of garbage (the  column designators are for reference only they do not get
printer out):


column									column 
1									   80


			    t                          t
							 r rrr     oooo    o


any  help with this problem would be greatly appreciated
