I assume it is using a Jetdirect card? I am using lprng with an HP4500C
with a Jetdirect card and it works great.

That should give you a basic idea on how to get it working. The command
'checkpc' is your friend. It will check a queue and make sure it is
setup properly, and if not, will do what needs to be done. Here is my
/etc/printcap file for the Jetdirect printer:
colorlaser
:lp=
:rm=172.17.0.42
:rp=text
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/colorlaser
:lf=/var/log/colorlaser.log
:mx#0
:sh
Change the colorlaster to whatever you want to name the queue, and
change the :rm= to the IP address that you assign to your Jetdirect
card.
Any questions, fire them away!
