I'm not sure I agree with this reasoning - the /etc/rc.conf
configuration of lpd can be considered as a reasonably front-ended by
sysinstall at installation time whereas there's nothing to configure
/etc/printcap.  Since new users will likely have no idea that
/etc/printcap has anything to do with turning on lpd (hitting the
"Print" button in Netscape is about the most they can handle), there
needs to be an automated way of dealing with this before just turning
it off.
