RE: Printing to a Hewlett Packard Jet Direct card
To give you another way that works... I use lprng and this is
how I have connected to an hp4k printer...
tnp015|rm164_hp|Remote hp8kN(ps) printer
:lp=tnp015.ten.alcoa.com%9100
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/tnp015
:mx#0
:sf
:sh
This is roughly equivalent to using the raw printer name with
rm: and rp: entries... Except it isn't a remote spool.
