well it seems that lptcontrol command worked. I have access to
the parallel port once again under cups. and I didn't know about
the script, in the past i had started cups via just running 'cupsd'
I had to reinstall gimp-print manually as the freebsd port's version
doesn't appear to install any drivers..not a big deal, after another
hour or so of compiling my printer is fully functional again(after about
3 weeks of downtime), i printed a testpage from cups and a document
from staroffice 6(remote from my test suse workstation over lpr) and
it came out great!

thanks a lot! I was losing hope there for a while fearing a parallel
port failure or something similar.

(big sigh of relief)

thanks again!!

nate
