You can still edit printcap to make changes it also has a printcap.local
that it appends to the printcap after it generates it when you start
lpd however this doesn't help if you want the entry you are doing manually
to be the default printer. I have found that if you change
etc/printcap the changes are in effect without restarting the print
dameon. If you don't reboot the machine very often it is no big deal.
I just have my modified printcap in printcap.local then I erase everything
LPRng puts in upto the printcap.local lines and everything works. A
little messy but it works. I am hoping to look into CUPS next month now
that we are in our slow season to see if I like it better as I have
never gotten LPRng to hold jobs for extended time when the printer is
turned off like over the weekend when you work remotely and send stuff
to the printer. Does anybody who has to modify their printer setup
beyound what the configuration tools can do have thoughts on CUPS?
