You need to replace your lpr printing system with the LPRing stuff. This
is a re-write
of  lpr/lpd but with major enhancements. They talk about HP printers a
LOT.
They speciallize in this sort of stuff.  Sorry I don't have the link
handy, but do have there
own web page handy. It is distributed much the same as Samba ,
and works a treat on Red Hat, where it is the  default printing system.
