Not really. Here's a corrected one:
pr703|gsclj4_1|hplj4:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hplj4:\
:af=acct:lf=/var/spool/lpd/hplj4/log:\
:lp=/dev/null:fo:sb:sh:sf:\
:if=/usr/local/etc/netprint:
(I've taken out the df and vf entries---you can add those back and
modify the appropriate scripts.)
Joseph> Where can I get the hpnp software?
You don't actually need it. Just use the `netprint' perl script from
the Printing section of the FreeBSD handbook.
For more details, see:
