Newby help please

[David Green <david@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi good people

I'm a complete and utter newby to *nix systems and particularly trying
to print from them, so please excuse me if I ask any 'duh' obvious
questions!

My OS is FreeBSD 4.3, I'm trying to print via a network "through" a
Windoze 98 machine, using Samba on my machine.  I'm using LPRng. My
printer is a Canon LBP 800.  The windoze printer drivers are properly
installed on the machine and the printer is properly shared.

I have tried the gs printer drivers pcl3 and lbp8, as well as trying to
print as a guest and as "me" through samba.  When I try to print a test
page using 'T' in setup I get nothing - no error messages, nothing.

I've done an 'lpc reread'. 'lpq' shows nothing in the printer queue

I've looked through the Apsfilter Documentation Document (including the
FAQ) and had a look in the archives of the list but I'm not even sure
where to begin looking, or even what question to ask!  Any pointers to
where I might look or what the problem might be would be much
appreciated.

Kind regards
David
