- 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.
