No, LPRng smashes all printer names to lower case to deal with
problems with Win95 and NT doing their mysterious 'caseless'
conversions, as well as some DataGeneral and other implementations.

> If the names (TAG_MOANRCH TAGM_MONARCH) begin with the same

I just ran checkpc -f with the latest version of LPRng. Here is what I got
for your printcap:

The problems are as follows:
a) You seem to be using a single 'log' file for all of the spool queues.
This file is automatically truncated by each spooling process to a
maximum size. I recommend that you have one per spool queue, so you
do not get unexpected interactions.
b) You do not have a servers specified for the various queues. If you
have 'force_localhost' set, then you can ignore this, but it is
a little odd. You might want to use:
printer:lp=%P@localhost
Or you can ignore the warnings.
After I ran checkpc, I get:
Server Printer: lexmark1@h4 (dest registry@dhcp02) 'Lexmark Optra E310 Series printer'
(serving cashoffice.SUMMARY)
Queue: no printable jobs in queue
Printer 'registry@dhcp02' - cannot open connection - bad or missing hostname
