It is about as simple a printer to print to that you can get. On the other 
hand, you have problems configuring all possibilities. I use

lp|HPLJ2:\
        :lp=:\
        :rm=psrvr:\
        :rp=L1:\
        :if=/var/spool/lpd/lj.sh:\
        :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd:\
        :mx#0
for my printcap entries. I have a netgear printsever and it is l1 on the 
server. I can't lp a file because it stairsteps but I want to print from 
kword and don't have any problem.
