that looks correct to me. this is what we use for a 4400dtn (i think)
printer whatever minooka.coraid.com tcp!pr2!9100
81920 post2+600dpi+duplex generic generic generic
generic tcppost FIFO
although it's really odd that we are using minooka.coraid.com and not minooka
as the printer host.
we have a similar hp printer that does not work with tcppost. i think the
answer
is that tcppost needs a rewrite, but that fell off my radar screen. i believe
the
problem is that that silly baud rate (last i checked, tcp has flow control).
it's
so slow that i was wondering if printers weren't getting bored and hanging up.
