I've got an HP Deskjet 500 here, hooked up to a Debian 2.1 machine.
I believe ghostscript is used when printing pages from Netscape. I
also have apsfilter installed which (I believe) takes care of all
that. I didn't have to mess with an /etc/printcap file. Actually,
I did, but after I installed apsfilter, I haven't had to change it.
