Is it a LaserJet II or *Series II*? The former should be easy to set up
with magicfilter (laserjet or laserjet-lo), the latter is tricky because
it has virtually no memory:
# /etc/printcap
lp|hpljs2|HP LaserJet Series II:\
:lp=/dev/parallel:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hpljs2:\
:sh:pw#80:pl#72:px#1440:mx#0:\
:if=/etc/magicfilter/laserjet-filter:\
:af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:
lp|hpljs2lo|HP LaserJet Series II:\
:lp=/dev/parallel:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hpljs2lo:\
:sh:pw#80:pl#72:px#1440:mx#0:\
:if=/etc/magicfilter/laserjetlo-filter:\
:af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:
and, in /etc/texmf/dvips/config.ps, set (among others maybe):
m 300000
o |lpr -Phpljs2
D 300
X 300
Y 300
M jetiiisi
O -3.25mm,3.5mm
Z
j
You can print LaTeX docs at 300dpi, the rest at 150dpi. Also at 300dpi
can be printed with the WordPerfect 8-driver for the Series II. Note I
do not recommend WordPerfect, I just say it's possible.
