	Yes, that works. LBP8-II is compatible with the LBP4.
	Here is my /etc/printcap :

		laser|lp|Canon LBP4|my laser printer:\
		        :lp=/dev/ttya:sd=/usr/spool/lpd:lf=/dev/console:sh:1:\
		        :br#9600:ms=cs8,-onlcr,ixon,decctlq,-parity:mx#10000:
		

	That's not enough, you must have good settings in your printer.
	My printer settings :
		scaling = ON
		rotation = OFF
		ps = ON
		ecs = 8
		lp, aitoCR, autoLF = OFF
		paint = Partial
		rsmode = 8S

	Most of this settings are overriden by the commands in the file you
	print. But that is the way i got my printer works.

	It remain some prolems. By exemple i can't obtain italique fonts.
	And another problee is the slowness of the printing.
	It takes me 20mns to print the "golfer.ps" and 15mns to print
	only one page of text whith bold , Italique etc ...
