Re: HP printer and printcap
Hi!
I have a HP550C working under debian, just using apsfilter / lpr
It's easy to configure, it asks everything necessary.
note: apsfilter doesn't work with LPRng, there is a package named
magicfilter for it, but i haven't tried it.
here is my printcap:
## /etc/printcap: printer capability database. See printcap(5).
## You can use the filter entries df, tf, cf, gf etc. for
## your own filters. See /etc/filter.ps, /etc/filter.pcl and
## the printcap(5) manual page for further details.

Ok. Good Luck!
note: you need ghostcript also
