Entropy production was calculated for the driven lattice gas on small two-dimensional square, hexagonal and triangular lattices. Steady-state and time-dependent properties were calculated with the master equation, using the complete transition matrix for all configurations. Entropy production from dissipated work or from probability current was the same for transition rates that preserved local detailed balance. Entropy production was calculated along several relaxation paths. Steady states, on all three lattices, were not states of either maximum or minimum entropy production.
