Hi Guys, Here's what I use for printing to a network HP 4L. The lp printer in /etc/printcap processes jobs with the script remote-filter. This filter just uses the ljet4-filter from the magicfilter package and pipes the output to lpr printing to printer lp-r. Files printed to lp-r go directly to jetd, the jetdirect adapter that attaches the 4L to the network. The jetdirect normally supports win95 directly, but not when running lpd. Therefore I use samba to make the lp-r printer available to win95 users. win95 knows the capabilities of the printer, so it doesn't need to be filtered.
I hope this helps. If you have any more questions let know.
