The only entry that looks like it might be ok is the canon lbp 4+, however
that's quite a different animal from the lbp 1000... which is a descendant
of the 400/600/800 series.

I'm using the pxlmono ghostscript device - is this what you're referring to?
I know that ghostscript is trying to print to /dev/lp0... but I suspect
that's not what you're asking me!

|Check in the /etc/ifhp.conf file.  If you see the Cannon LBP in there,
|then you should be able to use it.
|
|On the other hand,  check to see what GhostScript 'output
|device' is being used.
|You can then add/modify an existing IFHP Cannon entry to use
|the appropriate
|driver.  Once you find the appropriate one, send me email
|and I will update the IFHP entries.
