Is it a tip escape/command?

This is my printcap for an Dec Ln03r Scriptprinter:
lp0|local laser printer:\
:lp=/dev/cuaa2:\
:rw:\
:of=/usr/local/bin/lpof:\
:fc#0000374:fs#0000003:br#38400:\
:xc#0:xs#0040040:sf:sb:br#38400:\
:mx#0:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
I'm doing in rc.local:
cat -u /dev/cuaa2 >/var/log/PS-log
and if you want to watch messages coming from the ps-printer
you can always do:
tail -f /var/log/PS-log
and print using lpr.
