I'm using this with my printers on 5.2:
ink|hp1220|hp1220c:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:sf:\
:if=/usr/local/libexec/hp1220:\
:lp=/dev/ulpt0:sd=/var/spool/output/ink:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
/usr/local/libexec/hp1220:
/usr/local/bin/gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE \
-q \
-sDEVICE=ijs \
-sIjsServer=/usr/local/bin/hpijs \
-dIjsUseOutputFD \
-sDeviceModel="DESKJET 1220" \
-dPrintmode=1 \
-sPAPERSIZE=a4 \
-r300 \
-sOutputFile=- - | dd obs=8k && exit 0
The dd(1) trick used to make things go a lot faster on USB, I don't know
if it is still necessary.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
