You want the HP developed hpijs driver. This is what I use for my
HP 1220 printer, you may need to change the DeviceName:
/usr/local/bin/gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -q \
-sDEVICE=DJ9xx \
-dPrintMode=1 -r300 \
-sOutputFile=- - | dd obs=64k 2>/dev/null && exit 0
The dd(1) trick is because it outputs ridiculous small write(2) requests
and the USB path does no buffering. I think there is little reason for
ultp(4) to not buffer aggressively.
