I have used shell scripts before, but wanted to move on to LPRng and
bounce-queues... I finally got it working today; here are my configuration
files:

- - - /etc/printcap @ server (jooseppi.marjamaki.com)
hp-raw|lp|HP LaserJet 5L raw:\
        :lp=/dev/lp1
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp-raw
        :af=/var/log/lp-acct
        :lf=/var/log/lp-errs
        :mx#0
        :sh

- - - /etc/printcap @ workstation
hp|lp|HP LaserJet 5L filtered (elmeri.marjamaki.com)
        :lpr_bounce
        :qq
        :[EMAIL PROTECTED]
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/remote/hp
        :if=/usr/local/lpd/filters/ljet5l-filter
        :mx#0
        :sh:

hp-raw|HP LaserJet 5L raw
        :[EMAIL PROTECTED]
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/remote/hp-raw
        :mx#0
        :sh:
- - -

/usr/local/lpd/filters/ljet5l-filter is like ljet4-filter from magicfilter
with one small modification; the last line is now
- - -
default         pipe    /usr/bin/enscript -2 -G -r -t -b "${LPJOB}" --output=-
- - -
which gives quite nice output formatting when printing pure text-files.

Hope this helps,

  Mika
