I'm having no luck in getting a cheap HP printer - DeskJet 3940 - to

respond to lp / lpr even with appropriate printcap settings.
I'm guessing that the fact that I can't # cat file > /dev/ulpt0 has
something to do with it, perhaps the printer requires a filter to print
anything.
At a pinch, I'll go down the HPLIP route - CUPS on its own didn't work,
even with a ulpt-less kernel - but I only want to print plain text
files!
Deskjet 3940 is LIDIL (host-based), so HPLIP is pretty much required.
