Since /etc/printcap is generated by printconf at boot, you can of course clobber it without ill effects. Note though that you'll need to remove /etc/printcap if you've just switched from CUPS to LPRng, due to the way the printconf LPRng backend works. > 2) the "lpinfo" command has definitely non-standard UNIX behavior > in that option order is relevant: Indeed; this is a very simplistic tool---take a look at the way it parses its options to see what I mean. (Observations like this might be better directed at the CUPS people though.) Tim. */
