I haved been using this parameter (rw) since I began using linux. I forget why I use it.
This link is the lprng howto. http://www.lprng.com/LPRng-HOWTO/LPRng-HOWTO.html#AEN3105 If you seach for "rw " (don't use the quotes in your search string) you will see this is used only for serial printers. Although, I don't see why other printers wouldn't need to be rw. Oh well. It works. Good.
