I received many responses! Thank you very much.
Many Thanks to:
Alan Davis, John Joehnk, Ernie LaBonte, Werner Rost, Carol Duncan, Mike
Rademakers, Tom Brand, Sean O'Connell, Ernie Constantine, and Alan Beardsly.
One thing I noticed, unless I am crazy, is the the "lp" numbers must be in
order: lp0, lp1....lpn
That caused at least one printer do "disappear".
Between this and the responses that I received, here is my working printcap
and entry for the services file:

Subject: Printing problem with HP and Jet Direct Cards
Importance: High
I have searched the archives and have tried what appeared to be the
solutions, but I cannot get my printers to work.
Here are the entries that I have in my services and printcap file.
Not to rush, but I have W2's and other reports that MUST be out by Friday.
I can use the RM method to print, but only the first ~900 pages!
Any and all help is greatly appreciated!
