Message-ID: <1992Dec24.001912.1@sunvax.sun.ac.za> Lines: 21 Sender: news@hippo.ru.ac.za Organization: University of Stellenbosch Date: Wed, 23 Dec 1992 22:19:12 GMT Howdy folks! I have been running 386BSD for a few months now, and have decided to connect a HP Laserjet II+ to the box. I am on a net, so there hasn't really been a need for a printer on the box, but now I want it. I successfully installed the lp patches, and the port is seen. But when I print, the port or printer seem to just hang. The form feed light on the laser comes on, but that is all. Nothing else happens. lpc reports the status as printing, but thats it. If I cat directly to /dev/lp ( set up as c 14 0) the same happens. Can anyone please help me ? Oh, yes I am using Terry's lp patch. Haug's lpt patch would not work. Regards Andre. abs@cs.sun.ac.za.
