From a high-level perspective, create a printer queue for a regular printer that accepts data of types "pcl,simple". The HP-LJ is just a PCL printer as far as most UNIXes is concerned. Rarely will you find a filter that will send PCL-5.0 specific commands, so most UNIXes don't make a distinction between the various PCL versions. See your manuals for adding a regular printer. Unless the 5M only has a networking interface, ... in that case good luck. -- "It was our last, best hope for peace -- it failed. | Scott G. Hall Now it's our last best hope."
