lprng

[Sean Roe]

Hi,

the rm entry from what I can tell is not needed because I have the lp
flag set.  Im pretty sure the file is getting to lpd but Im not sure
about debugging from there.  I am printing from a windows XP pro
machine.

heres the error I got when I put in the rm entry:
Warning - lp1: 'conflicting printcap entries :lp=/dev/lp0:rm=localhost'
