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.
