It's an HP LaserJet 8000n and it just works with the Solaris and Linux boxes right next to me here at work but I've made my default work machine a FreeBSD-4.2 My printcap is as follows: lp|HP8000:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ :sh:mx#0:\ :rm=10.160.64.99:\ :sd=/var/spool/output/lpr1-tech:\ :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\ :if=/usr/local/libexec/lpfilter: I've tried it with and without the filter. I get "dev/lp does not exist" when I remove the first line. This is a network printer once again here at work.
