Install the gs-aladdin package. It has the hpdj driver compiled in
with it(ftp://ftp.sbs.de/pub/graphics/ghostscript/pcl3/pcl3.html). When
you install the gs-aladdin package read the gs-hpdj man page. I use it
and the magicfilter package with my hpdj660C and it works great. You
will need to write a filter file to set the options to use with
ghostscript. I just have different printers defined in my printcap for
draft, color, etc. I can email some examples via private mail or to
list if others want. It would be nice if a print spooler(maybe lprng
does I don't know) would accept command line options similiar to the
mount command that just get passed on to the filter. This would allow
one filter to control different output quality.
