The answer I was after gives me the following 'rp' options:
raw - pass through
text - ascii text
ps - postscript
Browsing the HP web page, I discovered the JetDirect box I have does not support
'lpd' so the printcap entry would not work anyway. I need to get a Flash Rom
to download the required firmware so it understands 'lpd'. I hope I do not need
the above mentioned software to download the firmware onto the rom, if so I
could try converting it using Freeport Express. If that fails it looks like the
box may go into the bin, hope it doesnt get to that.
Thanks to all who helped.
Joe
