	its not the printcap so much as the kick in the pants the deskjet 
needs to print ascii ;)  take a look at /usr/local/lib/djascii included 
at the end.

/etc/printcap:

lp|djascii|Deskjet Ascii:\
    :lp=/dev/lpt0:\
    :sd=/var/spool/lpd:\
    :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\
    :if=/usr/local/lib/djascii:\
    :af=/var/spool/lpd/acct:\
    :pl=60:\
    :mx#0:sf:sh:rs:


/usr/local/lib/djascii:

#!/bin/sh
echo "^[&l2A^[&k6W^[&l#0^[(s0p10h12v^[&k3G"
cat
exit
