finally my printer responds with this command:

but I have no idea how to get it running through the normal LPD spooling

I can't imagine that LPD port 515 is not supported by the printer; what 

telnet 192.168.1.105 515

gives? If this is timing out, I would rather think in firewall issue;

if you really need to print raw to port 9100, with CUPS you would
just configure it through CUPS' web inteface as

socket://192.168.1.105:9100/?waiteof=false

or on command line with

# lpadmin -U root -p myprinter -D '' -L '' -E -v  \

How in CUPS i will be able to use foo2xqx-wrapper, plus I am planning to
add smart apsfilter from ports on top . I would like that all print jobs
are converted first by apsfilter into postscript, then foo2xqx-wrapper
makes them compatible for HP and finally I ship this data over network to
my printer

generally i would prefer to stick with the native freebsd printing system

As you should! CUPS is horrible... I also use apsfilter. I can print
almost any file I want just by doing lpr filename

apsfilter's generated config required some hand tweaking by me, but
here's an example I'll drop for you:

/etc/printcap:

netlaser|netlaser;r=600x600;q=medium;c=gray;p=letter;m=auto:\
:lp=9100@netlaser:\
:if=/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/netlaser:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/netlaser/log:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/netlaser/acct:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:

/etc/hosts:

192.168.94.5 netlaser

/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/netlaser/apsfilterrc:

#
# don't delete these settings
#
PRINTER='PS'
PAPERSIZE='letter'
METHOD='auto'
QUALITY='medium'
COLOR='gray'
RESOLUTION='600x600'
# apsfilter as jukebox
# important if audio playback device is a network print queue
# INTERFACE='network'
INTERFACE='network'


And then I think I just had to create /var/spool/lpd/netlaser with
ownership root:daemon and 755


After that I think restarting lpd and it just works?

That is considered normal for Unix printers.  If you want the complexity 
of a filter that autodetects input type, save adding that for later.



i tried this printcap entry:

Do not use IP addresses.  lpd really, really, *really* wants a 
resolvable hostname.  Entering it in /etc/hosts is enough, then use that 
name above.



btw: gsed package was not mentioned as dependency for foo2xqx-wrapper in
the Installation Notes


Depending on where those notes are, that should be mentioned to the 
author of the notes or the port maintainer.

That is a good advice. I'd suggest to use a PS test page as
input, let it run through the filter, and send its output
directly to the printer (with netcat if networked, with 
to /dev/lpt or /dev/ulpt if local). If _that_ part is
working, integrate it with the LPD subsystem or CUPS.

Please don't top-post, it makes responding more difficult.

lpd will restart a queue when it gets an error from a filter.  Manually 
test the filter before trying to use it with lpd.

I always use foomatic for such things, it's quite easier to set up. For 
example I have:


hplj2420d|lp|HP LaserJet 2420|:\
:af=/usr/local/etc/foomatic/lpd/hplj2420d.ppd:\
:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:\

:lp=/dev/ulpt0:\
:if=/usr/local/bin/foomatic-rip:\
:sh:\
:mx#0:

I installed those ones:

print/foomatic-db-engine
print/foomatic-db-hpijs

This is local setup, but I think network setup can be done almost the 
same way. This printer was initially set up as a network printer but 
after Windows 7 emerged there were numerous problems with printing 
anything so I grabbed the box and converted it to lpd printer. Now 
everything works flawlessly for years.


In your case the key might be using correct filters to feed raw data to 
printer. Most winprinters doesn't know what ps is and require user to 
provide correct raw data.

  Are you sure about that model number?  I can't find specs for a Laserjet 
1120M.  There is a Laserjet M1120.  It's a Winprinter.

  The file entries are confusing and use some non-base programs.  You may 
be mixing the base system's lpr/lpd with the CUPS versions of the same names 
from ports.

  For plain lpr/lpd, I have this article:

Model number: HP LaserJet M1120n MFP

I try your how-to in few days as it seems I need to redo whole config. I will 
post my results, thanks


The Laserjet M1120 is a winprinter, which means it does not understand 
plain text or common PDLs like PCL or PostScript.  There is 
print/foo2zjs in ports, but it's meant to be used with CUPS.  I have not 
tested it.___

It seems that a HPLIP interface is available for this printer,
so it should probably work with CUPS and _maybe_ with the
normal means of printing (FreeBSD printer spooler plus a
printer filter that turns PS, the _default_ output language
for printing, into the specific non-standard language that
printer wants to be spoken to in).

I'm using a similar approach for a terrible Samsung color
laserprinter (foo2qpdl-wrapper in my specific case) which
I could easily integrate with the already mentioned CUPS,
as well as the normal system's printer subsystem.

However, I also have not tested if it works for the M1120,
because I prefer to use printers that work, that's why I
don't own such a thing. :-)
