I have a 4000N, but it's close enough. Here's mine:
breeze|breeze
:lp=breeze%9100
:lf=/var/log/lp-errs
:af=/var/log/lp-acct
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/breeze
:if=/usr/lib/CTI-Print/bin/ifhp
:mx#0
:sh
Note that I'm using LPRng. Also note that the 4000N has a built-in
Ethernet card and print server, but I'm printing directly to port
9100. That means that I need to send either PostScript or PCL. Hence
the need for the CTI-Print filter.
Incidentally, the documentation that came with my printer provided
some (really bad) example printcap entries. They work but are
suboptimal for several reasons.
