This seems to be necessary to hack directly into "if" as it seems not to check
for parameters provided by lpd. check with "man printcap".
"if" is copied from /var/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters/master-filter on each
spool directory. by default when using SMB, NCP or DIRECT printing, this filter
assume a hard accouting file of acct in the spool directory
(/var/spool/lpd/<lp>/).
