- Which printing service are you using, the bsd lpr utilities or lp? I
- think the pcnfsd
- as compiled defaults to 'lp -c', but may be extended by using a
- printcap file in /etc,
- i.e. /etc/printcap. This method of defining printers should be
- described in the pcnfsd(8c)
- man page included with the pcnfsd executable.
