It sounds like the printer's default settings isn't right.
Try setting the default paper type and tray in the printer's
console menu.
You must also add the following lines to your printcap database
to make ifhp to run:
:ifhp=model=hp4v
:lpd_bounce
You can only have one append_z option, so you've to merge them:
:append_z=portrait,a4,inupper
Try this:
# HP Laserjet 4v (LPD)
lp|default_printer
:sh
:mx#0
:filter=/usr/local/libexec/filters/ifhp
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp
:append_z=portrait,a4,inupper
:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
:lpd_bounce
:ifhp=model=hp4v
or this:
# HP Laserjet 4v (appsocket)
lp|default_printer
:sh
:mx#0
:filter=/usr/local/libexec/filters/ifhp
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp
:append_z=portrait,a4,inupper
:lp=192.168.100.200%9100
:ifhp=model=hp4v
