I'd like to be able to print to my lp0 HP 560C printer from NetBSD 1.3
I've found a bunch of Linux <ack> printing utilities like "magicfilter,"
(which doesnt build very well), but nothing totally useful. A tcl/tk 
app called GP (GUI Printing) gives printer selection/ps->ascii,etc 
options a good look.

I've got printcap entries:

lp|jet|inkjet\
        :lp=/dev/lpt0: \
        :sd=/var/spool/jet: \
        :if=/usr/lib/jetfilter: \
        :lf=/var/log/hp_txt-log: \
        :mx#0: \
        :sh:

# HP DeskJet 560c (Postscript)
lps|psjet|postscript_inkjet\
        :lp=/dev/lpt0: \
        :sd=/var/spool/psjet: \
        :if=/usr/lib/psjetfilter: \
        :lf=/var/log/hp_ps-log: \
        :mx#0: \
        :sh:

Now I just need the programs for 'jetfilter' and 'psjetfilter'
to make the whole thing work. Can anyone help me out here?

        thanx,          
                nate
