[plug] printer problem

[Larry O'Reilly]

Excerpt from man psf:-

      "laser|lp|LaserWriter Plus on AppleTalk:\
                  :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/laser:\
                  :lp=/usr/spool/lpd/laser/null:\
                  :lf=/var/adm/lpd-errs:pw#80:hl:\
                  :of=/usr/lib/filters/ofpap:\
                  :if=/usr/lib/filters/ifpaprev:\
                  :tf=/usr/lib/filters/tfpaprev:\
                  :df=/usr/lib/filters/dfpaprev:

       Note that if the host in question spools to more than  one
       AppleTalk printer, /dev/null should not be used for the lp
       capability. Instead, a null device should be created  with
       mknod for each printer, as has been done above.

       Finally,   there   is  a  file  in  the  spool  directory,
       /var/spool/lpd/laser, called .paprc, which pap  reads  for
       the AppleTalk name of the printer."


/usr/spool/lpd/laser/.paprc would have laser in it.
