Don't know if this will help or not, but here is a copy of the printcap that I have that works on my HP8000DN (jetdirect). hp8000dn|lp2:\ :sd=/var/spool/hp8000dn:\ (*LOOK AT NOTE*) :mx#0:\ :rm=000.000.000.000:\ (*LOOK AT 2ND NOTE*) :sh:\ :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\ :rp=raw: (*THIS IS THE NOTE*) Make sure that the path: /var/spool/hp8000dn (or whatever path you feel is appropriate) has the proper rights. Mine works with drwxrwxrwx. I'm not sure how secure it is, but it works for me (I simply used the chmod ugo=rwx on the dir). If it is horrifically insecure, hopefully somebody will point it out. Don't put in the comment. (*THIS THE 2ND NOTE*) Put the IP that is assigned to the jetdirect card without the comment. Just nitpicking, but did you check the archives or just forward the message to the mailing list?
