        Subject:        printcap question

In conjunction with my question in the hardware list about printer 
compatibility, I'm wondering if I've missed something somewhere in the 
documentation.  Is there a setting that can go into the printcap entry for 
a printer that will allow you to print to a printer with a network card 
(EIO Card for HP printers) installed in it?  I looked, but I didn't see 
anything that looked like it would be exactly what I was looking to do.

Example: I have several HP printers with EIO cards in them.  Each of them 
is set to a distinct IP address (a.b.c.d), with a mask (e.f.g.h), in the 
printer configuration.  For the Windows printers, you create the IP port, 
assign the printer to it, then print to the IP address.  I'd like to do 
something similar with a printcap entry and lpd and it would open up the 
number of printers one can easily use greatly.

Thanks in advance for any information.

                 Doug
