Very Computer

I am running Solaris 2.5 and from the FAQ was able to get printing to an
HP JetDirect card pretty easily.  I just did a:

lpsystem -t bsd hp4
[and so on from the FAQ]

Works just fine, I can print.  But I've got that annoying issue of
line feeds not getting acknowledged by the printer.  I know in
an lpr system, if I set the remote printer (rp=text), that solves
the problem.

Is there any way with lpsystem to specify the remote printer name?

I tried:
#lpsystem -t bsd hp4
"hp4" has been modified.
#lpadmin -p text -s hp4.corp.dti.net
#accept text
destination "text" now accepting requests
#enable text
printer "text" now enabled

This didn't make any difference.  I tried playing around with the
configuration file in /etc/lp/printers too, no dice.

Any thoughts on the matter would be appreciated!

In the above line I'm specifying the remote printer name, in your
case it would be hp4\<something>

man lpadmin for complete details.

To specify a different remote printer name use UUCP notation:

lpadmin -p lp -s hp4.cort.dti.net!text

will connect your local printer "lp" to the printer "text" on hp4
