Okay, first the /etc/printcap. You need a colon and backslash here:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
deskjet:ps:PS:S:lp:HP DeskJet Printer:\
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each of these lines needs a backslash:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
:sh:sd=/var/spool/lpd/deskjet:\
:lp=/dev/lpt0:\
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The last line is fine.
Now, for the script /usr/local/libexec/hpif. This needs to be all one
line (but it's possible your mailer word wrapped it and it already is
one line), and I think you want to use "cdj550" instead of "djet500":
------------------------------------------------------------------------
/usr/local/bin/gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=cdj550 -sOutputFile=- - \
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This should be "exit 0" not "exit 2":
------------------------------------------------------------------------
echo $first_line && cat && printf "\f" && exit 0
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let me know if that helps ... or not. Good luck!
