installation failed: LPRng & HP JetDirect


Greetings.

	I am running Debian 3.0 ("Woody") on a Pentium system.  I successfully 
installed apsfilter 6.1.1-6, then installed LPRng 3.8.4-2.  All these 
currently are in the Debian "testing" archives.

	Next, I successfully used apsfilterconfig to install a local Postscript 
printer (HP LJ5M connected to the parallel port), printing a perfect test 
page.

	Then, in the same session of apsfilterconfig, I attempted to install a 
network Postscript printer (HP LJ4100N with JetDirect interface), but was 
unable to print a test page--the printer gave no indication that data was 
received.

	The 4100N is at IP address 192.168.1.77 on the local network (home 
office), and prints at 1200 dpi resolution.  The parameters I entered are 
as follows:

1. printer driver selection:
    type=Postscript
    driver=PS_1200dpi

2. interface setup:
    interface=unix/network printer (lpd)
    machine name/IP address=192.168.1.77
    queue name=raw (per the "hint" provided by apsfilterconfig)

3. paper format:
    US letter

5. color mode:
    monochrome (1 bpp)

	Is it proper to run apsfilterconfig each time a printer is added?  If so, 
do previously-installed printers have to be reconfigured, or just the 
printer being added?

Regards,
RLH
