I posted a message about a problem we were having with lpr and a HP laserjet +
printing messed up text.  I requested help with either a printcap entry or
any advice from anyone who had installed this type of printer.  I forgot to
mention that the HP laserjet is connected to the parallel port of a 4D25.  I
wonder if this is related to the problem?  Maybe the printer would work 
properly if it was connected to a serial port?   Any experience out there?
(we are running 3.3.1 and lp seems to work ok...).
