2/9     I'm trying to get printing working under FreeBSD 4.2
        The handbook tells me to use
        lptcontrol -[ip] for Interrupt or Polled communication, but every
        time I try lptcontrol, it says "Device Busy".  I tried reconfiging
        the kernel, but I've already got "device lpt" in there and the
        suggested addition
        device lpt0 at isa? port? tty irq 8 vector lptintr
        is rejected as invalid.  I'm using a parallel port PCL-compatible
        printer, and I can't find any resources on the net as to how to
        troubleshoot this (google, deja, altavista, freebsd,
        linuxprinting...)  Where else can I check?
