- Be sure you have _both_ /etc/printcap and /usr/etc/princap. (or one and a
- link in the other directory) This got things going for me.

- Do you know where I can find a complete doc of the printcap file? The man
- page says nothing about mc, ht, or ft. I'm trying to get the ht to tell my
- printer to translate lf->lf+cr, but it seems to be ignoring it.
