The psonly-1200 filter does something; otherwise jobs are not terminated and the printer will kill some jobs after a timeout of 2 min (if I recall correctly). Not a big deal, it just surprised me that I needed a filter in the first place. In case it saves someone a little time, I am using the foomagic-rip with HP's PPD with the following printcap: p|lp0|hplj1200|HP LaserJet 1200 :if=/usr/bin/foomatic-rip :filter_options= --lprng $Z /usr/share/postscript/ppd/HP_LaserJet_1200.p pd :lp=/dev/lp0 :mc#0 :mx#0 :prefix_z=InstalledMemory=72MB :sd=/var/spool/lpd/hplj1200 :sh /Allan -- Allan Wind P.O.
