Now this /etc/printcap is used at work to print to an HP4000N:

        :if=/etc/magicfilter/ljet4m-filter:\
        :af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:

This is basically a hack, because I do not know if the LJ4M filter I chose is 
the best suitable for an HP4000N and because doing things like "ls -l|lpr" 
generates a listing with a staircase effect. But because PS files print fine 
I'll take care of that on one of those days...

Here I have no clue.
