HP Laser4M PLUS on parallel port

Hello!

I've an AlphaServer 600 with DU 3.2G and a printer HP Laser4M PLUS
connected to the parallel port.

My printcap is like this:

lp|lp0|0|Gutemberg:\
        :af=/usr/adm/lpacct:\
        :if=/usr/lbin/hplaser4psof:\
        :lf=/usr/adm/lperr:\
        :lp=/dev/lp0:\
        :mx#0:\
        :of=/usr/lbin/hplaser4psof:\
        :pl#66:\
        :pw#80:\
        :sd=/usr/spool/lpd:\
        :xf=/usr/lbin/xf:

When I send postscript files it works fine but when I send text files it
goes all wrong because it seems that the printer doesn't make the line
feed.

I've tried with other filters hplaser4m, ln03rof,ps_level2of but
nothing. With ln03rof it prints text files well but the postscript
doesn't.

I've tried to implement two printers, one for text files and another one
for postscript files. It doesn't like it.

Can anybody help me?
