I guess I got overly excited and when I try to print from firefox,
nothing happens :(
I tried to print from command line and I get:

I did not name the printer, went back to run ./SETUP and named it, I
also checked
===========================================
*Ok, now that THAT is over, lets check the perms on the lpd dir:
---
ptah# ls -ald /var/spool/lpd
drwxr-xr-x 2 root daemon 512 Jan 28 05:10 /var/spool/lpd
ptah# chmod 777 /var/spool/lpd
ptah# ls -ald /var/spool/lpd
drwxrwxrwx 2 root daemon 512 Jan 28 05:10 /var/spool/lpd
---
*...now everyone can write to it.
*So I went into /usr/local/etc/rc.d and created a printer.sh
file with the following contents:
---
#!/bin/sh
[ -x /usr/sbin/lpd] && /usr/sbin/lpd && echo -n " lpd"
---
*I started it with just a:
---
/usr/sbin/lpd && echo -n " lpd"
---
*...real quick and then checked to see if it was running, and
it was!
*lpc status all - shows if the printer is recognized and up:
---
freak:
queuing is enabled
printing is enabled
no entries in spool area
printer idle
---
*So yay! He's up and going. Now to print to him I can just do:
---
lpr -P freak whatever.txt
---
*And it should print just fine.
*I added the following lines in /usr/local/etc/smb.conf
---
==========================================
I have not done this:
---
#!/bin/sh
[ -x /usr/sbin/lpd] && /usr/sbin/lpd && echo -n " lpd"
---
does having lpd_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf do the same?
I modified permissions, but printer is not printing via firefox or
command line :(
Here's some output of what I got when I ran ./SETUP
Please enter a printer queue name for printer 'ijs/DESKJET_812'.
The default name is 'aps1'.
Your choice: ijs/DESKJET_812

To let the printer scheduler know of the new printers, it has to be
restarted. Be sure that no print jobs are in the queue.
For LPRng use: lpc reread
For *BSD use: lpc restart all
For Linux BSD-lpr use the vendor supplied script, i.e.:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd restart
or similar.
