Likewise I have tried and agree it has a great deal of potential.
Things I noticed.
1. For True64 Unix had to modify lprngtool to specify Samba location or it
just crashed.
2. Restart of LPRng from the menu did nothing.
3. Similar problem to Dmitri with the converted file trashed.
4. Access to remote LPRng servers failed (I have not investigated further
yet as to why).
Using it to build the printcap file from scratch it is definately
worthwhile. For picking up our existing mess, not so good.

I tried it. It is very usefull. Just two remarks
a) I had to correct by hand the printcap it converted from
lpd style (spaces separating queues were missing, connents starting
with ':', some lines joined together).
b) it looks like setting gsuppdir in config file has no effect.
Alladin Ghostscript puts drivers in /usr/share/ghostscript/6.01/lib,
so gsuppdir needs to be changed to /usr/share/ghostscript/6.01
Setting this in config does not lead to found upp drivers.
If I change inside the code as
if $gsuppdir/*/lib/$fname == ""
^^^
then it all works.
