I have a HP 1100A and its has been working perfectly using the HP Laserjet
4/5/6 selection from the RedHat printer control panel, which of course
sets up the ghostscript preamble.

Here is my /etc/printcap

##PRINTTOOL3## LOCAL ljet4 600x600 a4 {} LaserJet4 Default 1
page1:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/page1:\
        :mx#0:\
        :sh:\
        :lp=/dev/lp1:\
        :if=/var/spool/lpd/page1/filter:
##PRINTTOOL3## LOCAL ljet4 600x600 a4 {} LaserJet4 Default 1
page2:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/page2:\
        :mx#0:\
        :sh:\
        :lp=/dev/lp1:\
        :if=/var/spool/lpd/page2/filter:

Hope this helps.
Cheers, Grahame
