I have just installed LPRng and the CTI filters on a machine running
Solaris, it is one great piece of software! Not only does it talk directly
to the Jetdirect card but the filters are smart enough to switch the
printer to PCL mode to handle text. I didn't see anything that would
not cause it to give problems under FreeBSD. Sorry I cannot give the location
of the ftp site cause I am not at work now :)
