Do you have the Storm Admin System installed ? The printer setup is
through printtool itself, using magicfilter. In case it is not there on your
magazine CD do an apt-get install printtool from the storm server or
one of its mirrors

The Laserjet 1100 is a very new printer and there is no driver written

There is a site listing ghostscript drivers for various printers

mention the LJ 1100.
Thanks for the advice. I used the ljet4l filter and it seemed to have

My printing system consists of a HP LJ6L, ghostscript 4.03, lprng,
