Thanks to diff -e ...

attached is a script to create a HPLaserJet.nc from HPLaserJet on a OSR
5.0.6 box.
it uses "ed" and since this was done on a OSR 5.0.6 box, I can't say if it
will produce a good result on older versions.

I don't think HPLaserJet has changed in a long time, so it might work on
5.0.5 and 5.0.4, I haven't checked. In any event, it won't hurt if you run
it on 5.0.4, it will just create a new file called
/usr/spool/lp/model/HPLaserJet.nc and that file may or may not be junk,
but it won't alter your existing HPLaserJet. I'd make a copy of it first
anyways though.

just run it by doing "sh mkhpljnc.sh"
it uses explicit paths so it doesn't matter where you are when you run it,
you should be root though.

The new interface script HPLaserJet.nc uses the same /etc/printers.nc that
the other netcat script uses (ahh that's another difference, sorry, I
prefered to use /etc/printers.nc instead of /etc/printers for this.)
