Hi, Warren, thanks for writing. I did both of those of the suggestions, but still nothing. :( I tried CUPS also. After installation and configuration of CUPS, cupsd ran fine. But, when it attempted to print anything, the print attempts were listed as "cancelled" in the list of web-based print jobs (I did it through konqueror at localhost:631).

Newbie USB Printer Problem
I cannot get my HP Deskjet 3420 printer to work. I've read all the prior posts for USB printers, checked the handbook and the complete freebsd book. After doing so, I've come up with this... The kernel found the printer (dmesg): ulpt0: hp deskjet 3420, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 2, iclass 7/1 ulpt0: using bi-directional mode I edited printcap in /etc to look like this: lp|ps|local hp deskjet 3420:\ :lp=/dev/ulpt0:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:sh:mx#0:\ :if=/usr/local/libexec/magicfilter/deskjet-filter: I added the line lpd_enable="YES" to rd.conf in /etc I rebooted. lpd started properly and shows up under top and ps I issued this command to test the printer: lptest > /dev/ulpt0 The printer did nothing.
