Thanks to Paul Watson - CAD Systems Supervisor

and to Jason from DEC Hot Line.

My original question was : How to configure a local printer to print in
Postscript and textmode.
Here are the two solutions. They both work in ps and text mode as well.
 lp5|5|lp|lex_ps:\
        :if=/usr/lbin/hplaserpsof:\
        :af=/usr/adm/lp5acct:\
        :br#4800:\
        :ct=dev:\
        :fc#0177777:\
        :fs#023:\
        :lf=/usr/adm/lp5err:\
        :lp=/dev/lp0:\
        :mx#0:\
        :of=/usr/lbin/hplaserpsof:\
        :pl#66:\
        :pw#80:\
        :sd=/usr/spool/lpd5:\
        :xc#0177777:\
        :xf=/usr/lbin/xf:\
        :xs#044000:
lp6|6|lp|lex_txt:\
        :if=/usr/lbin/ln03rof:\
        :af=/usr/adm/lp6acct:\
        :br#4800:\
        :fc#0177777:\
        :fs#023:\
        :lf=/usr/adm/lp6err:\
        :lp=/dev/lp0:\
        :mx#0:\
        :of=/usr/lbin/ln03rof:\
        :pl#66:\
        :pw#80:\
        :sd=/usr/spool/lpd6:\
        :xc#0177777:\
        :xf=/usr/lbin/xf:\
For convenience one may use the printconfig utility for printer
"unknown" and then insert the two lines manually.
