Hello,

I'm unable to print to a HP DeskJet 540 on a machine running 
NetBSD-2.0.2/i386.

When I execute "lptest 20 10 > /dev/lpt0" the printer feeds a sheet and 
then hangs forever with its status LED blinking.

This problem occurs with the GENERIC kernel as well with my slightly 
modified kernel. I copied my kernel config and the dmesg output to 
<http://www.trash.net/~leuzi/lpt/>.

Any hints?

Regards,
Christoph
