HP LaserJet 1200

The Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 1200 is a PostScript laser printer installed on Bartok (39.22). Plug into USB. Create appropriate devices (if they don't already exist - also be sure to be using perhaps kernel 2.4.20 or later) and try printing:

  # cd /dev
  # MAKEDEV usb
  # enscript -o - ~/.profile > /dev/usb/lp0

Worked just fine. Now set up printing as in another chapter.
