        I am sorry for my broken English.
        I have HP LaserJet 5siMX printer with HP Jetdirect card attached
to NT4.0 server with name mtserver; AlphaServer 2100 with DU3.2C, and
AlphaServer 4100 with DU4.0. Both DigitalUnix systems has such
/etc/printcap file:

lp0|0|mtserver.HP5si:\
        :lf=/usr/adm/lp0err:\
        :lp=:\
        :rm=mtserver:\
        :rp=HP5si:\
        :sd=/usr/spool/lpd0:\

#To print directly
lp1|1|HP5si:\
        :lf=/usr/adm/lp1err:\
        :lp=:\
        :rm=p_HP5si:\
        :rp=HP5si:\
        :sd=/usr/spool/lpd1:\
I print ps files with
    lpr file.ps -P0 or
    lpr file.ps -P1
 and text files
     lpr -p file.txt -P0
 from DU3.2 without problem.
 
        But I can't print ps files from DU4.0 with command lpr file.ps
-P0 because my printer "think" this is text file. If I print directly
(lpr file.ps -P1) or text files (lpr -p file.txt -P0) then all it's
okay.
        How to print ps files with lp0 from DU4.0?
