Local Printer Setup - HP DeskJet 610CL

Hello. I am really new to Unix and am trying to set up a local printer on a FreeBSD 6.2 machine. I was able to get some kind of garbage by going lptest > /dev/lpt0, but after I set up the spooler I get nothing but page after page of nothing. I checked the kernel configuration and it had the correct devices in it. I checked to see if it was enabled for ppc0 and lpt0 and it was. Lost and need help or at least a direction to pursue.Smilie

Solved my own problem

Just thought I would let the forum know I used a input text filter that converted LF to CR + LF. And took out a colon after the lp in the line:

:lp:= /dev/lpt0. New line reads :lp=\dev\lpt0:

Works fine and I rejoyced greatly!Smilie
