I have a HP6L and it works perfectly well with magicfilter (ljet4
filter). My printcap looks like: (set up with magifilterconfig)
lp|lp|lp|HP Laserjet 6L:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:sh:pw#80:pl#72:px#1440:mx#0:\
:if=/etc/magicfilter/ljet4-filter:\
:af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:
The versions I have is:
magicfilter: 1.2-25
ghostscript: 4.03-3
gs-fonts: 5.10a-1
lprng: 3.5.2-1
