Your jetdirect config should look like this:
===JetDirect Telnet Configuration===
Firmware Rev. : G.08.04
MAC Address : 00:10:83:5b:ea:69
Config By : DHCP
IP Address : x.x.x.x
Subnet Mask : x.x.x.x
Default Gateway : x.x.x.x
Syslog Server : x.x.x.x
Idle Timeout : 90 Seconds
Set Cmnty Name : Not Specified
Host Name : foo.domain.com
DHCP Config : Enabled
Passwd : Enabled
IPX/SPX : Disabled
DLC/LLC : Enabled
Ethertalk : Enabled
Banner page : Disabled
And your printcap should look like this :
hp|hp1100|hp4050tn:\
:sh:\
:lp=:\
:rm=foo.domain.com:\
:rp=lp:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp4050tn:\
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\
:if=/usr/local/libexec/psif:\
:mx#0:\
:rs:
The /usr/local/libexec/psif is a shell script like this:
--START--
#!/bin/sh
#
read first_line
first_two_chars=`expr "$first_line" : '\(..\)'`
if [ "$first_two_chars" = "%!" ]; then
echo "$first_line" && cat && printf "\004" && exit 0
exit 2
else
( echo "$first_line"; cat ) | /usr/local/bin/a2ps --quiet --portrait -1 --no-header --output=- --sides=duplex && printf "\004" && exit 0
exit 2
fi
---END---
You will need a2ps (/usr/ports/print/a2ps-letter) installed to make this
work.
