I think I can explain the different error messages as I've just run
across a similar problem here.
We use a similar script to get the printcap and it has run fine
with 3.6.12. But after an update to 3.6.22 users got
Filterprintcap: filter '|/opt/LPRng/etc/printcap.filter' failed - No such file or
directory
whenever they used a printer name that doesn't existed.
Using the following printcap filter for testing, I've found the reason:
#!/bin/sh
read PRINTER
echo "$PRINTER" >>/tmp/a
3.6.12:
----- cut ------------------------------------------------------------
rsommer@andros [src] >>rm -f /tmp/a ; ./lpq -Pdoesnotexist > /dev/null ; cat /tmp/a
doesnotexist
----- cut ------------------------------------------------------------
3.6.24:
----- cut ------------------------------------------------------------
rsommer@andros [src] >>rm -f /tmp/a ; ./lpq -Pdoesnotexist > /dev/null ; cat /tmp/a
doesnotexist
*

That means the script is called twice and the second time the given
printer name is "*". And our script produced an error with that and
without trying it I would assume that the script in the HOWTO has a
similar problem.
I've now fixed our script to handle this. But, Patrick, is lpq (and
the other commands probably as well) supposed to call the filter
twice? I haven't found anything like this in the CHANGES.
