I found many drivers for the HL-12xx models. I have used this in my previous setup with my old parallel server. I actually tried what you suggested and it only worked when using the parallel cable, not the USB. For some reason the USB connection on this and any other FreeBSD server I connect to is DOA for printing. I run mouse and keyboard via USB. But these print jobs are lining up in the queue and just sit there no matter how many times I reconnect the printer, or reboot it or reboot the computer. And once again I'm seeing two instances of lpd running when I only launched it from the command line once, no entry in /etc/rc.conf.BigDell# ps -ax | grep lpd 1311 ?? Is 0:00.00 lpd 1329 ?? IE 0:00.00 lpd
One is the daemon, the other is the spawned job trying to send the print jobs and exit.
