Hi,

is there anybody using a HP540 deskjet with freebsd? My
printer always starts a print request with two leading
garbage pages, then prints the original intended job and
adds another trailing garbage page at the end. I have
been testing around with the printer anyway, because it
was not able to use the interrupt mechanism but needs
to be set up in polled mode. But I have not succeeded
to make the printer garbage vanishing (I still have
to do that manually :-)

if you have any suggestion how to solve my problem
please post or email!

Thanks  

  Frank
