Network printing to a GCC Elite 616 XL (hence the strange filters)
>Description:
The order options are given appears to be significant in printcap.
The printcap (5) man page does not mention order being significant,
and I kept getting my large files truncated before they were printed.
This printcap entry works:
lp:\
:lp=/dev/null:\
:mx#0:sh:\
:if=/usr/local/bin/printfilter:\
:of=/usr/local/bin/tcpof_207.152.104.69:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd:\
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs1:

:sd=/var/spool/lpd:\
