Hi,

I am sending my revised file. Note the syntax of the printcap file
(the first ":" in a line seems to be important).

Regards

Ralf Beyer

HP Laserjet IIISi on Indigo/Entry running 4.0.1 configured as ATT and BSD
printer. The HP Laserjet is in PostScript mode.

Printer lp4 is defined as sample printer.

ATT: To configure lp4 as ATT printer follow the instructions in the IRIX
     documentation. You should be able to print ASCII and PostScript files
     by

	    lp -dlp4 < file.ascii
	    lp -dlp4 < file.ps

BSD: To configure lp4 as BSD printer proceed as follows:

	    su
	    cd /usr/spool/lpd
	    mkdir lp4
	    chmod go+w lp4
	    chown lp lp4

    Copy the printcap file into /etc/printcap

    -r--r--r--   1 root     sys         1317 Aug  3 09:23 printcap

    In /dev make a symbolic link from lp4 to /dev/plp

    l---------   1 root     sys            8 Jan 29  1992 lp4 -> /dev/plp

    You should be able to print PostScript files by

	    lpr -Plp4 file.ps
