I've got a HP Deskjet 5940 printer. I installed foomatic-filters, hpijs,
and ghostscript-afpl. I have created the following printcap:
lp|DeskJet:\
:lp=/dev/ulpt0:\
:af=/usr/pkg/etc/foomatic/5940.ppd:\
:if=/usr/pkg/bin/foomatic-rip:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/DeskJet:\
:sh:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
5940.ppd is from linuxprinting.org (hpijs did not contain that by default).
Now I "lpr /etc/printcap" and get this mail:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Your printer job
