Great news... you can now "cat anyfilename.txt > /dev/lp0", so it's almost 
working.

I'm not sure what I meant either 8)

In my version of printool, there is a message that says
the lpd daemon is connected to the lp1 device.
"
                                Printer queues in /etc/printcap
lp                              "local printer on /dev/lp1"
"

I am unfamiliar with the more recent versions of printtool.
Could you append the relevant text onto your next message?

I thought you could use 'hp692c' driver, not 'hpijs'??

At this point, you may have to tune the /etc/printcap file by hand.
I'll send you mine for a template if you want.

It's important to notice that the printtool window is just a GUI interface 
reflecting the contents of /etc/printcap...
