I apologize if this is already in some archive or a manual.
I am browsing some Web engines right now. What is the archive
to use by default?

The problem is this, I am a total dimwit when it comes to printers.

I have a HP LaserJet II and lprsetup supports hpIIP. I picked
this printer and installed with /dev/lp0. I had text line printer
on lp0 before this. Now after installing the laser I do an
'lpc restart all' and 'lpc enable all' and then 'lpr /etc/motd'
lpstat shows:

waiting for lp to become ready (offline?)

Nothing happens on the printer side. I tested it by redoing lprsetup
and using 'unknown' type, and it prints but comes out wrong, no
carriage returns.

Is hpIIP not good for an hpII ?

Thanks, will summarize or flame me and tell me where the archive is. :)
