Just tried to install my HP Photosmart 7760 as per instructions in Dru's book. When I try to print I get the ubiquitous message: lpr: Error - sheduler not responding.
I have changed course here. I connected my old HP Laserjet III via the parallel port (lpt0), and had Apsfilter create the printcap. The Apsfilter test of the printer worked fine. I have lpd enabled in my /etc/rc.conf.
BTW, this is all taking place on a new installation of FreeBSD 8.1. OK...the printer's name is "ljet3." When I try to print thusly--- lpr -Pljet3 <myfile> ---I get an error message that states
Code:
lpr: Connection refused
This would seem to be a permissions thing, but for the life of me I figure how to solve the problem. Everything looks OK in /etc/devfs.conf.
