Hi, Sammy.  /etc/printcap looks OK, wrapfilter doesn't.  See below for my
corrections.  If you still have problems with these changes, please give me
more information about what's wrong, such as any error messages you see.
Another thing -- make sure wrapfilter is executable (issue the command
"chmod +x /var/spool/lpd/lp0wrapfilter" if you haven't already).

The OfficeJet needs to be connected directly to your PC, not through the Zip
drive.

This is a known problem while will be fixed in the next version.  For now,
there is a patch available at "http://hpoj.sourceforge.net/todo.shtml".
In your case, you can download the "patch against 0.6"
(http://hpoj.sourceforge.net/download/patches/hpoj-0.6-smp-patch-20001120.txt)
into the "hpoj-0.6" directory.  cd into the "hpoj-0.6" directory, and issue
the command "patch -p 1 <hpoj-0.6-smp-patch-20001120.txt".

0. I don't normally put a space here, but it's probably OK with a space.
1. You said this was in "/var/spool/lpd/lp0", so this needs to be consistent.
2. Remove the extra "4" (it should be "IEEE12844DIR").
3. Put a slash in front of "usr" (it should be "/usr/local/bin").
4. Remove the spaces between the "}" and the "/" (twice on this line).
5. "12844" instead of "12488" (should be "ieee12844_print").

So here's how wrapfilter should look in its entirety.  Remove the "> " at
the beginning of each line, of course:

I hope this helps.
