finally my printer responds with this command:

nc 192.168.1.105 9100 < output.xqx

but I have no idea how to get it running through the normal LPD spooling
system. output.xqx file I generate first with the foo2xqx-wrapper filter
and it accepts only postscript

i tried this printcap entry:

HP|lp|Printer:\
:lp=9100 at 192.168.1.105:\
:sh:\
:mx#0:\
:sd=/var/spool/hp:\
:if=/usr/bin/foo2xqx-wrapper:\
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:

but in the Status file i have:  waiting for 9100 at 192.168.1.105 to come up

btw: gsed package was not mentioned as dependency for foo2xqx-wrapper in
the Installation Notes
