It seems to be a syntax error

This prints to /dev/lp0 ???????????

# cat /etc/printcap
lp|HPLJ2100:\
:rm=192.168.69.39:\
:rp=raw:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:

This prints to network printer (notice no colons on end of lines)

# cat /etc/printcap
lp|HPLJ2100\
:rm=192.168.69.39\
:rp=raw\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:

Why this is the case I have no idea because the example printcap file has
those colons and everything I read on the net does too. If anyone is
interested I am running Debian 2.2r5 and lpd 0.48-1. Well this has wasted a
heap of time :-(

cheers,
Bjorn
