I don't know your printer. I run an HP PaserJet 4 here on my LAN, connected
with its own IP address. The printer is in /etc/hosts under the name
"caxton". Here is the printcap entry I use (actually two -- ascii for text,
raw for Postscript):
ascii|caxton_ascii:\
:lp=:\
:rm=caxton:\
:rp=text:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/ERRORLOG:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/caxton_text:
raw|caxton_raw:\
:lp=:\
:rm=caxton:\
:rp=raw:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/ERRORLOG:\
This assumes the network printer itself runs an emulation of lpd.
Hope this is of some help. Good luck.
