I saw that, but when I changed it and restarted cups, cups rewrote it.

printcap:
# This file was automatically generated by cupsd(8) from the
# /etc/cups/printers.conf file. All changes to this file
# will be lost.
EPSON|EPSON:rm=frodo.localhost:rp=EPSON:

/etc/cups/printers.conf:
# Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.1.23

How it got frodo.localhost out of what is in the /etc/cups/printer.conf file I
cannot figure out.

What a bummer, cups has always been good to me, what the world is going on
now, I don't know.
