>Environment:

FreeBSD 2.2.7-Stable supped in mid August.  System is a K6-2 (K6-3D) 300Mhz
with 64Mb ram, EIDE disk drive, Alladin V chipset, Tulip PCI ethernet card.
(mostly irrelevant)

       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:


This printcap entry doesn't work:

lp:\
       :lp=/dev/null:\
       :if=/usr/local/bin/printfilter:\
       :of=/usr/local/bin/tcpof_207.152.104.69:\
       :sd=/var/spool/lpd:\
       :mx#0:sh:\
       :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs1:

>How-To-Repeat:

	See description above
