finally my printer responds with this command:

Okay, that's a good start.
but I have no idea how to get it running through the normal LPD spooling
system. output.xqx file I generate first with the foo2xqx-wrapper filter
and it accepts only postscript
That is considered normal for Unix printers. If you want the complexity
of a filter that autodetects input type, save adding that for later.
i tried this printcap entry:
HP|lp|Printer:\
:lp=9100@192.168.1.105:\
:sh:\
:mx#0:\
:sd=/var/spool/hp:\
:if=/usr/bin/foo2xqx-wrapper:\
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
but in the Status file i have: waiting for 9100@192.168.1.105 to come up
Do not use IP addresses. lpd really, really, *really* wants a
resolvable hostname. Entering it in /etc/hosts is enough, then use that
name above.
btw: gsed package was not mentioned as dependency for foo2xqx-wrapper in
the Installation Notes
Depending on where those notes are, that should be mentioned to the
author of the notes or the port maintainer.
