If the printer listens at TCP port 515, then I think yo u are set. Make sure you have LPRng. To test that, just try telnet 515 and see if it connects. If that goes thro' you only have to export a shell variable and you can print. export [EMAIL PROTECTED] HTH, Girish > Thanks alot in advance. > > -- > Kiffin Gish <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > ___ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > __ Do You Yahoo!?

The handbook assumes that printers can print plain test. Het 720C can't. You need to install a printing formatter/spooler like apsfilter. You'll also need the pnm2ppa port.
