addqueue -l

9997) Generic PCL3 Printer net_genericpcl3printer
9998) Generic printer net_genericprinter
9999) Generic plotter net_genericplotter
lists the models supported and which includes "generic printers". I just tried this on a non-HP printer and it seems to work with the printer considered as "local printer".
The command I used was:
addqueue -i 9998 -q xerox1 -h xerox1.xyz.com -b off
I can print text, PCL formatted as well as Postscript UNIX files.
Our enterprise has thousands of a mix of printers (all TCP/IP connected and all configurable as remote lpd/lpr printers). And we have a need to enable printer classes so print jobs can be distributed/load-balanced accross similar printers. I believe this can only be done with locally configured printers -- i.e. local cable connection or JetDirect (and similar) configured printers which are considered "local".

SolutionIf the printer is on the network and can be ping'ed, go through the motions, ignoring the errors and messages about possible problems. This will add the printer. I have been using the 4si driver with no problems.
Done Xerox, TekTronic, Okidata, Epson, etc...

1.) Plain ASCII with embedded PCL codes for font control, etc.
2.) PCL Stream
3.) Postscript Files (from pdf2ps or text2ps or ghostscript)
We do not use any drivers (which is a rarity anyway) the way it is on windows.

All I have to do now is test each flavour for whatever anomalies.
