>Description:
The default /etc/printcap in 4.2 RELEASE includes these lines:
# Do also refer to section 7 (Printing) of the handbook. A local copy
# can be found under /usr/share/doc/handbook/handbook.{html,latin1}.
Checking the handbook, printing is now covered under chapter 9,
not chapter 7.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Suggested patch for /usr/src/etc/printcap to remove the explicit
chapter number (since it might change again):
