I did this and it did not help. Here are more details.

waiting for lp to become ready (offline ?)

But lpd is running (twice even?):

Here is /etc/conf.modules:
> more /etc/conf.modules
alias eth0 3c59x
alias paraport_lowlevel paraport_pc

Here is printcap:

##PRINTTOOL3## LOCAL POSTSCRIPT 300x300 letter {} PostScript Default {}
lp:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
        :mx#0:\
        :sh:\
        :lp=/dev/lp1:\
        :if=/var/spool/lpd/lp/filter:


We tired switching to "/dev/lp2" and "/dev/lp0", but this made no
difference.

Thanks for any help you can offer,

Mike
