Hi Lowell, Tks for your response. Later I also used 'apsfilter' to config my printer. The printtest looked perfect, a complete page filled with nice tiger heads, text and grid border. But still I could not print documents. Hereinunder was my tests; /etc/printcap HPDJ690C|cdj670;r=300x300;q=medium;c=full;p=a4;m=auto:\ � � :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ � � :if=/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\ � � :sd=/var/spool/lpd/HPDJ690C:\ � � :lf=/var/spool/lpd/HPDJ690C/log:\ � � :af=/var/spool/lpd/HPDJ690C/acct:\ � � :mx#0:\ � � :sh: Following line added to /etc/rc.conf lpd_enable="YES" # lpr -P HPDJ690C clean.txt Only strange symbols printed. 'No paper' light was flashing. # lprm -P HPDJ690C dfA006localhost dequeued cfA006localhost dequeued # lpq -P HPDJ690C no entries But 'No paper' light was still flashing. Turned off the printer and turned on again the light gone. (I put only one paper on the tray otherwise the printer will contiue to eject papers) On KDE desktop started a text document Started printing File -> Print Print system currently used <Generic UNIX LPD Print System (default)> Printer Name - HPDJ690C Clicked <Print> Only strange symbols printed out and 'no paper' light flashing. Remark: also tried Print system currently used <LPR/LPRng Print System> same result:- strange symbols and light flashing A folk on this list mentioning > Once you do this you can insert setup codes via an input filter ahead of > the data to be printed and most printers including many HP models have a > code which switches the interpretation of the LF character. I have no idea how to make it and am still waiting his advice. I am searching around for solutions but still could not find it. B.R.
