Need printcap settings for HP Laser on serial port

I'm trying to get a HP Laser Jet IV to work off of the serial port
on an AlphaStation 4/166. I have set it up with the following:

lp|lp0|0:\
        :af=/usr/adm/lpacct:\
        :br#9600:\
        :ct=dev:\
        :fc#0177777:\
        :fs#03:\
        :if=/usr/lbin/hplaser4psof:\
        :lf=/usr/adm/lperr:\
        :lp=/dev/tty00:\
        :mx#0:\
        :of=/usr/lbin/hplaser4psof:\
        :pl#66:\
        :pw#80:\
        :rw:\
        :sd=/usr/spool/lpd:\
        :xc#0177777:\
        :xf=/usr/lbin/xf:\
        :xs#044000:

I've checked the baud rate and other serial port settings on the printer.
And the printer does work from another computer through the parallel
port.

When I print the job gets spooled but never printed.

lpc> stat command reports:

lp:
        printer is on device '/dev/tty00' speed 9600
        queuing is enabled
        printing is enabled
        no entries
        no daemon present

What am I doing wrong here!!!! :)

Thanks for any advice on this.
