	I have just installed FreeBSD 1.0 from the new DiscNET CDROM. The
installation was tricky, but it's there.
	However, I'm experienceing a problem I had previously under Linux.
When I pipe straight text to my HP Deskjet 500 on paralleldevice
/dev/lpa0, the printer prints one line of text, then spits out numerous
blank pages before quitting. Someone once mailed me a script file that set
up some kind of filter that made this work correctly, but it's long been lost.
If anyone has a clue as to how to fix this, I'd appreciate some e-mail.
	Thanks.
