know how to find, and the admin already hates me quite enough :)
The printcap you see it taken "as is" from a Corel Linux machine which
uses the very same printer without problems, and since my lack of
knowledge about printers is astonishing, I could not understand anything
about the handbook on freebsd (I could not find anything about NetBSD)
