Joshua, The printer redirector we use is called 'lp_server'. It's not something we wrote. It's an open source project. It doesn't emulate any of the HP command set. It simply listens on port 9100 (like HP JetDirect), and forwards all data received to the printer.
So, if you telnet to port 9100 on the workstation, and type any commands, those things you type will end up printing on the paper, rather than being interpreted by a command shell. If anybody knows of a decent JetDirect emulator, i'd be very interested in seeing it.
