Ah, now it all makes sense. Set up /etc/printcap like this:
lp|hp|hp870|HP870Cse:\
:lp=/dev/null:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp870:\
:sh:pw#80:pl#66:px#1440:mx#0:\
:if=/usr/sbin/dj550c-filter-2-hp870-real:\
:af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:
hp870-real:
:lp=/dev/null:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp870-real:\
:sh:rm=192.168.1.1:rp=hp870:
Now you'll create a script, call it /usr/sbin/dj550c-filter-2-hp870-real
and make it like so:
#!/bin/bash
/usr/sbin/dj550c-filter $* | lpr -Php870-real -U$5
You also need to do this:
mkdir /var/spool/lpd/hp870-real
chown lp.lp /var/spool/lpd/hp870-real
chmod 775 /var/spool/lpd/hp870-real
Then restart lpd and you should be in business!
