I'm having a problem when printing to printer connected to the parallel port.

There is a problem when printing to many parallel port connected printers which could cause the printed pages to either not print, or to not complete printing. The problem is that many printers do no correctly implement interrupt driven printing.

The work-around is to log into your NetMAX machine, become root, and edit the file /usr/netmax/etc/rc.d/lpd.sh and add the following line after the initial comments:

/usr/sbin/lptcontrol -p -d /dev/lpt0

This command switches the parallel port to polled mode.

This only applies to the FreeBSD FBSD33Pv2.0 version of NetMAX.
