I have a HP Office Jet 6970 (ink jet) and all I did was install cups
and hplip (which is in ports).
To get lpr to work without cups is a little more adventurous. The
three scripts below should get you started. They depend on unix2dos (I
forget which tools bundle this is from) and gs (which is in
ghostscript). Printing just PS is pretty straight forward. However you
should be aware that firefox and friends are hard coded to use a cups
defined printer. At least I haven't figured out how to fool their
print dialog box. Follow the man pages for setting up lpd.
You need to create an /etc/printcap entry similar to to:
lp|hp_prt:\
:lp=9100@hp_prt:\
:sh:\
:mx#0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp_prt:\
:if=/usr/local/libexec/f_smart:\
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
And f_smart is:
#!/bin/sh
#
# sfif - Print PDF or PostScript or plain text on a PCL printer
#
IFS="" read -r first_line
first_two_chars=`expr "$first_line" : '\(..\)'`
case "$first_two_chars" in
%!|\033%%|%P)
# %! or ESC% or %P : PostScript or ? or PDF job, convert it to PCL.
( echo "$first_line" ; cat ) | /usr/local/libexec/f_ps2pcl && exit 0
exit 2
;;
*)
# otherwise just print it followed by a form feed to eject page
( echo "$first_line" ; cat ) | \
/usr/local/bin/unix2dos && printf "\f" && exit 0
exit 2
;;
esac
And f_ps2pcl:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=ljet4 -sOutputFile=- -
