I THINK you need to feed your output through a filter to convert Netscape's postscript output to a format more suitable for your HP printer (PCL?). However, a remote printer entry doesn't go through an input filter, so you need to use a "bounce queue". I don't know enough about it to give you much more than that, but maybe that's a hint.
