This error makes no sense to me. Why > is trying to create /dev/lpt0? It's already created. This is annoying me. > GRRR. Im sure its something stupid it almost always is. But all be darned > if I know what. Never saw this one. Can you "print" by concatenating an ASCII file to the printer ? root# cat /etc/passwd > /dev/lpt0 Do you use lpd or LPRng ? What permissions does /dev/lpt0 have ? crw------- 1 root wheel 16, 0 15 Apr 19:25 /dev/lpt0 Otherwise enable debugging in apsfilter by enabling the prepared set -x in .../bin/apsfilter Then have a look into the logfile (see lf= in /etc/printcap) Although I don't think its apsfilter related, because finally it tries to print something to the device and if this doesn't allow you ... Try "cat" first and in further case of trouble please send only the log of one unsuccessfull print session to the mailing list. Then please also tell what apsfilter version you use. I had to install a completely new FreeBSD last recently. Apsfilter/gs run out of the box.
