I am having difficulty getting LP to work properly.
I want to print to my LaserJt 4 witiing on LPT1: in DOS (so it is 
/dev/lpt0) I can access the printer -- but only blank pages come out on 
an lp command. I have put in a very simple printcap file (the standard 
location for spooling, etc.) Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
JS
