My Djet 870Cxi is on a NT system that Debian still accesses via LPR.  But I
did at one point have it hooked up and shared from Debian.  Here is how it
looked in my printcap:

 dj|djet870|HP Deskjet 870:\
        :lp=/dev/lp1:sd=/var/spool/lpd/djet870:\
        :sh:pw#80:pl#66:px#1440:mx#0:\
        :if=/etc/magicfilter/dj500c-filter:\
        :af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:

I will say that I did have problem with the magicfilter program.  The
actual 550c driver that it installed filter would not execute.  I don't
know if that was a bug or not, I got a new copy of that filter (older
version maybe) and put it in its place, and I have never had a problem.

I will attach the driver I use (4.73k).

Other than that, you need to have the queue created in /var/spool/lpd:
drwxrwxr-x   2 lp       lp           1024 Dec 16 09:36 djet870/
..you can use a 'cp -a lp djet870' in the /var/spool/lpd directory, and
that should handle it for you.  

I know all of this sounds manual, but if the magicfilter install was a bit
much, this could be an easier route for you.

Hope it helps
