FYI I am a novice Unix person trying to play system administrator on a new
Sparc2 running Aries.  Connected to this beast is a HP Laserjet IIp
printer via the serial interface (ttya).

Does anyone out there have any experience connecting these two pieces of
hardware together?? If so, could you please tell me what I need in my
/etc/printcap file to get the Laserjet to print pictures?  The people at
Aries Technology tell me that the printcap files they have worked for Sun
3/4, Sparc1, & Sparc1+ but died on the Sparc2. 

Thanks in advance for any/all help,
