In conjunction with my question in the hardware list about printer=
 compatibility, I'm wondering if I've missed something somewhere in the=
 documentation.  Is there a setting that can go into the printcap entry for=
 a printer that will allow you to print to a printer with a network card=
 (EIO Card for HP printers) installed in it?  I looked, but I didn't see=
 anything that looked like it would be exactly what I was looking to do.

Example: I have several HP printers with EIO cards in them.  Each of them=
 is set to a distinct IP address (a.b.c.d), with a mask (e.f.g.h), in the=
 printer configuration.  For the Windows printers, you create the IP port,=
 assign the printer to it, then print to the IP address.  I'd like to do=
 something similar with a printcap entry and lpd and it would open up the=
 number of printers one can easily use greatly.

Thanks in advance for any information.

						Doug
