i have HEWLETT PACKARD DeskWriter 310 and it works well with my netbsd
box. mine is LC520 with 36mb memory and 1.5R(-current) running.
when i type command _lpr filename_, printer starts to print right away.
# i don't know DeskWriter 310 (this was very cheap one when i bought it.)
had been sold in The US.
