In your first example you did it yourself.
The second example should work if you have a printer called "hpg85" in your printcap.
Did you change the correct papd.conf? There may a copy from an older installation having a
different path to the netatalk config files than the one you are using now.
I hope you restarted papd after changing papd.conf, e.g. by restarting netatalk that your changes
can take effect!
Kind regards
Carsten
