    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.
