Sigh. Next time, please post the six damn lines inline.

rp:HP PRinter:\
        :lp=:rm=192.168.1.6:rp=lp:\
        :af=/etc/foomatic/hp.ppd:\
        :if=/usr/local/bin/foomatic-rip:\
        :sd=/var/spool/output:\
        :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\
        :sh:

Does that mean "rp@192.168.1.6"?

Anyway, I don't think this is correct: it should be simply "rp",
i.e. the name of the printer in your printcap.

With the above printcp, an empty lpq, and a correctly running lpd,
what does the following do?

        echo test | lpr -Prp

If it doesn't work, what does lpd-errs say?
