Yes, the problem occurs with both.  One just takes longer to start the
printjob than the other, but both will spew out a bad page prior to the
first page of the job.  It is not consistant with all documents printed, but
the data printed on the page appears to be partial printer commands (and it
is stairstepped).

Have you tried using /dev/unlpt0 instead of /dev/ulpt0 ?

See man 4 ulpt ...

USB lpt and NOPRIME

2003-11-26 Thread Thomas T. Veldhouse
I have had the problem listed in the article below for years (4.x and 5.x).
I have been unable to use my Lexmark Optra 312 (USB) with FreeBSD (w/cups)
because there is so often a page of "trash" printed before a print job
begins.  This ONLY happens on FreeBSD and not on Linux 2.4 (w/cups).  I have
posted about it here before, but never a response, but now I have found this
nearly three year old reference to the very same problem and I was hoping
somebody in the know might understand how a fix could be made to the FreeBSD
lpt or ulpt driver.
