Running an hp Deskjet 550C on an lpt port and an HP Deskjet 610C on a HP
JetDirect print server with rhs-printfilters-1.63-1 and the following
/etc/printcap entry for the local printer
##PRINTTOOL3## LOCAL cdj550 600x600 a4 {} DeskJet550 3 1
Local:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp0:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:\
:if=/var/spool/lpd/lp0/filter:
The RedHat printtool program takes care of all the editing and spool dir
files but they can be done by hand. I can send these if you wish. Al you
*really* need is rhs-printfilters which was up to 1.81-1 when last I
looked. Don't know where to get it but I can send you the (25k) tarball
if you're interested. Now whether it'll work for another distro I don't
know but I'd say it's likely.
