I tried 2 different ways, with lpr and by writing to /dev/lpt1 Both ways it prints, but extremely slowly.. the printer only prints a few characters at a time... is this because my computer isn't very fast (a DX2-66, as opposed to a real unix workstation), and FreeBSD just doesn't give the printing a lot of attention, or is something set up wrong? - Markus
