Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: HP Deskjet 540 Setup Assistance Requested Date: 4 May 1996 20:25:17 GMT Organization: its Lines: 21 Message-ID: <4mgefd$6j9@usenet.rpi.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: cortez.its.rpi.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Hello all, I am running FreeBSD 2.1 Release, and have an HP Deskjet 540 which I am attempting to connect and use. In my preliminary setups, cat > /dev/lpt0 lptest 20 5 > /dev/lpt0 each do not produce any output. The kernel is configured correctly to recognize lpt0 correctly as an interrupt-driven device. I have attempted to switch it to polled mode and back to interrupt mode with lptcontrol, but this also does not seem to have any effect. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Jon Mah (mahj@rpi.edu)
