I got LPRng-3.6.17.

Here we go.
This is on my backup print server running LPRng-3.6.17 on Solaris 2.7.

This looks ok.
But putting more of the things in printacp which I really want:

> tail printcap
dummy
        :client
        :tc=_client

dummy
        :server
        :oh=printserv02.SLAC.Stanford.EDU
        :lp=pr@dummy

> lpq -Ddatabase+2 -Pdummy
Clear_config: freeing everything
Printer: dummy@lpd02  - no spool directory for printer 'dummy'

And "checkpc" does NOT create a spool directory if I extend printcap
even further (and deleting "lp=pr@dummy").

Aliases:  printserv02.SLAC.Stanford.EDU


Just to be sure I put the alias name in /etc/hosts which does not
change anything. /etc/nsswitch.conf has the line 
"hosts:          dns [NOTFOUND=return] files nis"
in it.
