I use bounce queues with our HP LJ 4000N over ethernet to it's internal LPR spool, like: hplj4000n:HP Laserjet 4000 N:\ :[EMAIL PROTECTED]:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hplj4000n:\ :[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\ :sh:pw#80:pl#66:px#1440:mx#0:\ :if=/etc/magicfilter/ps-hplj-filter:\ :af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs: That's it. The report printer queue is called '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' and I have a single directory called /var/spool/lpd/hplj4000n - be sure to erase it when you start over again, and remember to STOP and then START lprng when you change the config file.. Make certain that lpq -P [EMAIL PROTECTED] and lpq -P [EMAIL PROTECTED] both work properly. I cannot stress how important it is to make sure you restart completely lprn after each try - I lost alot of time because of that :| Also be carefull with \'s and :'s I suggest using -exactly- the entry I pasted above and see if you can get it to tell you that hp400n.priv cannot be found then change that to your printer server then change the magicfilter then the queue name.
