1st you need to define a host name for the printer in /etc/hosts, add the next
line to /etc/hosts
10.155.135.3 hplj-cp4520
Then verify network conectivity with ping
ping -c 4 hplj-cp4520
Now, create the spool directory and errors-log file
mkdir -p /var/spool/lpd/LaserJetCP4520
chmod 770 /var/spool/lpd/LaserJetCP4520
touch /var/spool/lpd/LaserJetCP4520/errors-log
chmod 660 /var/spool/lpd/LaserJetCP4520/errors-log
chown -R daemon:daemon /var/spool/lpd/LaserJetCP4520
Next, add the printer definition to /etc/printcap
LaserJetCP4520|lp|HP LaserJet CP4520:\
:banner.disable:max.blocks#0:tty.device=:\
:remote.host=hplj-cp4520:remote.queue=raw:\
:spool.dir=/var/spool/lpd/LaserJetCP4520:\
:spool.log=/var/spool/lpd/LaserJetCP4520/errors-log:
Since the HP Color Laserjet Enterprise CP4520 accept the languages
HP PCL 6
HP PCL 5c
HP postscript level 3 emulation
Direct PDF printing version 1.4
You should test with one file of that languages, I do not know if plain text
can be printed without a text filter (input-filter)
