Whilst not directly related .. I run a pair of HP4s (one M+ and one MV for
A3 printing) with JetDirect cards and, therefore, an "rm" entry in
/etc/printcap. What surprised me was that I don't seem to be able to get any
filters to preprocess the stuff before shooting it at the printer.

Is this what's supposed to happen ? How do I fix it ? :-)
