Following the advice in this thread and in
http://www.aplawrence.com/Unixart/ldsprintwindows.html
I've got an hp printer working fine from a Unix lp command to a windows 2000
attached printer, with printcap entry

2550:\
        :lp=:rm=rob-pc:rp=2550:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/2550:\
        :mx#0:

If I add the of entry to this so that it reads:

2550:\
        :lp=:rm=rob-pc:rp=2550:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/2550:\
        :mx#0:of=/filters/hpt:

then it won't print, regardless of what is in /filters/hpt. For example even
with just
#!/bin/sh

in /filters/hpt the job sits in the unix queue, and windows gives an event log
id 4007 Illegal format used for commands received from 192.168.0.111 : service
refused. I've tried several filter entries all with the same result.

Any ideas?
thanks
-Rob
