Hi all.  I'm a newbie to the whole Unix for PC's shebang.  I'v just 
installed (I think/hope) most of the stuff for FreeBSD and am just 
working out the kinks for XFree86.  I'm running on a Gateway2000 486 and 
have a HP deskjet 4p.  For some reason, I can't get the deskjet to do 
anything with Unix.  I think the emulation it uses is PCL4.  Does this 
mean I need to find a PCL4 emulator to replace/work with lpr? If so, does 
anyone know where to find such an animal/how to use it?

Thx for any help!

Matthew.
