Ron, and all
Thanks for the original tip about configuring the HP LJ. I'm a real
newbie and this is pretty confusing to me.
I've followed the instruction below, (which I left below) to complete
the record, and now when I send to the printer I get the following
message;
lpr: connect: No such file or directory
jobs queued, but cannot start daemon.
So, I start the deamon (# lpd <enter> and the printer rolls out a blank
sheet of paper
So I check the que, and see the following message
Warning: no daemon present.
So I reboot, and note that when the system boots I get this message in
the boot up list of messages
starting standard daemon: inet cron printer sendmail ...etc....myname
lpd
[110] : bind: Address already in use
Any suggestion to resolve the 'bind' address, missing daemon issue?

Hello,
Simply configure your lp mechanism
to send the right esc codes to the printer for LF->CR+LF conversion before the
jobs gets sends.
Do this:
cp /usr/share/examples/printing/hpof /usr/local/libexec
chmod 555 /usr/local/libexec/hpof
vi /etc/printcap
and put an entry like this into it:
--- cut ---
hp6p|My HP6P printer:\
:sh:of=/usr/local/libexec/hpof:\
:lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
--- cut ---
Now lp -d hp6p /etc/hosts will look ok.
Don't redirect to a port but use the lp commands to print/spool.
