I have fixed the bug now, so the fix should get into the next installer and
drakxtools packages. I hope they will be built another time before release (it
was scheduled for today, Friday March 14, late evening in Paris).

Hi
When a printer name uses the symbol $, say "aaa$01bbb", the name is
not properly saved in the cups config files.
The reason is, I think, that perls thinks of "$0" as a variable name,
and replaces the string "$0" by the value of $0
How to reproduce it:
1) Open printerdrake
2) Add new CUPS printer
3) Connection type: "remote lpd server"
4) Choose "aaa$01bbb" as the Remote printer name
5) End the configuration. The printer name will still look correct (aaa$01bbb)
6) Now exit printerdrake and launch it again, the printer name will look "aaash1bbb"
Of course, nobody would use the $ character to name a printer in Unix, but apparently
they do in VMS (at least in my workplace :-)
Many thanks for the hard work, please let me know if I can help
