[gene]

Thanks, between your info and what I finally came across on the SMC
site, i cames up with the following printcap entry that seems to work:

HPG85:\
	:sh:\
	:ml=0:\
	:mx=0:\
	:sd=/var/spool/lpd/HPG85:\
	:rm=192.168.123.100:\
	:rp=lp:\
	:lpd_bounce=true:\
	:if=/usr/share/printconf/mf_wrapper:
