I'd probably go for the highest model number I could and see if it
worked.  Although I've found that getting TeX to produce HP4 output
looks best (it prints darker than the HP5 setup) on our Lexmarks.

if= filters don't get run when you use rm=.  Try using
"lp=192.168.10.20%9100" instead.

Now this /etc/printcap is used at work to print to an HP4000N:

lp|lj|hplj4000n|HP LaserJet 4000 N:\

:af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:

This is basically a hack, because I do not know if the LJ4M filter I chose is 
the best suitable for an HP4000N and because doing things like "ls -l|lpr" 
generates a listing with a staircase effect. But because PS files print fine 
I'll take care of that on one of those days...

Here I have no clue.

You can replace these two lines with the following, and it will work
just as well, without the bounce queue stuff:

:lp=hplj4000n%9100:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hplj4000n:\

The cti-ifhp filters can also help in this case to do real accounting
using the printer's page counter, and set things like duplex printing, 
etc.

Tell it that it is a postscript printer and then make it feed into lpr.

I am trying to set up printing on a Linux box (Slink) running lpr.  The
printer is on a network, and has an IP address, how do I set this up?  I
tried using the default network setup in the printcap that magicfilter
make and pluging in the IP, but it does not work,
Thanks,

BTW: I also need to have WordPerfect print, and from what I can see it
uses it's own priter setup, how would I set this up?
