The handbook assumes that printers can print plain test. Het 720C can't. You need to install a printing formatter/spooler like apsfilter. You'll also need the pnm2ppa port. See http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-DeskJet_720C and http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2005-February/077001.html Roland -- R.F.Smith (http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/) Please send e-mail as plain text. public key: http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/pubkey.txt
