I made a post about this not too long ago.
However, the problem is in the fact that
with a port listening for data to print directly,
anything and everything that comes in, gets
printed. Beware of portscanners, etc..
A better method would be to setup a proper
LPR port (lpdaemon) such as in
/rc/bin/service/tcp515 - however, I could not
get this to ever work, because I need the
data to be processed by hpijs, and something
goes wrong between the data coming in and
being sent to lp via lpdaemon. I don't know
what (ideas? see my previous post about this).
Best,
ak
