Solaris 2.2 terminfo entry for HP 7475a ?

Subject: Solaris 2.2 terminfo entry for HP7475a plotter

The subject about says it all.

Solaris 2.x has got rid of the /etc/printcap file of SunOS 4.1.x,
and I have NO idea how to create an entry for the terminfo database of
printers,plotters, etc., recognized by Solaris 2.2.

There's something about writing a source file that is converted to a
terminfo entry by a 'tic' command.  The source file is somewhat in the
style of the printcap entry for various printers, but much more complex.

Anyone out there tackled this yet?  You will, if you get Solaris2.2 and
plan on attaching an unknown (to it) printer.  And MAPGEN expects its
output device to be a printer recognized by your system.

Any help at all will be appreciated, but I know this will be a tough one!
