Hi Terry Mackintosh!

Maybe this will help you...

    > Hi all Could someone email me a working printcap file for an HP
    > LJ6L or similar printer? (Local printer, Linux, 2.4.2 kernel)

printcap entry:

      hp6l:
        :cm=hp6l 
        :lp=/dev/lp0
        :ifhp=model=hp6l,status@
        :if=/.../ifhp/libexec/filters/ifhp
        :lf=/var/log/lpd/%P
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P
        :mx=0
        :mc=100
        :max_log_file_size=2048
        :sh
        :sb
        :rp=hp6l
        :rm=host.domain

modified ifhp.conf:

      [ hp4l hp5l hp6l ]
        file_output_match = [
          *postscript* pcl /.../gs -q -dBATCH -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -sDEVICE=ljet4 -dNOPAUSE 
-r600 -sOutputFile=- -
          *pcl*        pcl
          *pjl*        pjl
          *printer*job*language*       pjl
          *text*       pcl
        ]

        pjl_except=[ ...

With this modified ifhp.conf you should be able to print graphics, too.

    > And what BIOS settings are used for the parellel port (SPP, EPP,
    > ECP)?
        
EPP+ECP but caused by status@ it's unimportant.
