Bug ID: 238407
Summary: lpd(8) man page -- missing operational detail
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: Manual Pages
Assignee: [email protected]

It appears to be the case that the print spooler, lpd, re-reads the
/etc/printcap file when changes to that file are made. This important
operational fact is not documented in the lpr(8) man page, even though the man
page is explicit in noting that the /etc/printcap file is read by lpd at
startup time.
The lpr(8) man page should be revised so as to specify ALL of the times and/or
conditions which will cause lpr to process or reprocess the current contents of
the current /etc/printcap file.
