I just finished sucessfully setting up a network printer.  The procedure I
used was much simpler than the one described in the handbook.  I think
this is due to the fact that lpd can now handle filters for network
printers.  I think it would be a great help to new users if the following
procedure was incorporated into the handbook.  Thanks, James Saint-Rossy.





This printcap enables network printing on a HPLaserjet 5 with a Jetdirect card
It prints both ascii and postscript.

1.  Install apsfilter, don't worry about the physical port.
2.  Manually edit the printcap rm=IP address or DNS name
3.  To get rid of banner page telnet to printer, hit return, hit ?,
    type banner: 0.
