Once again the overloading of the client and server information
in the printcap file causes headaches. Add the following:
remote:\
:cm=lpdfilter method=raw color=yes:\
:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/remote:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/remote/log:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/remote/acct:\
:ar:force_localhost@:\
:tr=:cl:sh:
remote:client:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
