The printer is an HP LaserJet IIP that I was given by a relative.
The printer is on and set to online. Following the instructions in the
NetBSD guide, I run the following
% lptest 20 10 | lpr -h
Running 'lpq' afterwards shows no jobs in the queue. The job has been
sent to the printer. The light next to the 'FORM FEED' button comes
on. In order to have the printer print the job, I have to take the
printer off line, and press the 'FORM FEED' button. The test prints
correctly.
I'm able to print both the test pages and the available fonts using the
printers menu without having to do the above process. Anybody have an
suggestions?
