Hello!

I have read the FAQ and handbook and manpages, and I still need a
hand!

I am running FreeBSD 2.1, and am having a problem configuring the
system to work with my HP LaserJet 4L.

I used the printcap from the handbook that is said to work with most
HP's.  It is for a HP 3Si, which my 4L emulates, but no luck!

When I do a lptest > /dev/lpt0, I get one line of text, no breaks, and
three blank pages.

When I do a lptest 20 5 lpr -Php (or just lpr) I get an error:
lpr: no lp found

Can anyone help?
Has anyone run into this???

TIA!!!
