Ok, I am trying to build a FreeBSP Print Server for a windows network. I have 2 HP LaserJet P3015's and a Lexmark Optra on the network. I am trying to get them working with LPR first before exploring CUPS or Samba. Below are my configuration files. I have read the http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/lpdprinting.html and http://www.es.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/corp-net-guide/printserving-lpr-freebsd.html. I also notice that I have no lpts defined in /dev. This is a fresh install of FreeBSD 9.2 and I ran
/etc/hosts:
/etc/printcap:
Thanks.
