On the workstation I used magicfilterconfig to set up the HPLJ5 on the
server as a remote printer using the "laserjet" filter. lpr works
properly from the workstation now, though I don't get the resolution
that the printer is capable of.
Later I may rip out all the Cups stuff.

It's a HP LaserJet 5MP connected to a parallel printer port. Lpoptions
says "printer-make-and-model='HP LaserJet 5MP - CUPS+Gutenprint
v5.2.10'"

Thank you. The lack of an lpr command on the server is not important,
