Sorry guys. Another problem you may not want to propagate to the 2.0
release.
lpd works for local printing but is broken for remote printing.
.............SNIP...............
Our printcaps:
Client:
lp|Line Printer:\
:sh:lp=:rm=10.0.0.201:rp=:\
:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:\
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:

Vincent,
I was able to reproduce your same results. It looks like lpd is being
confused by the parameters in your printcap. Bug or not, if I remove the
'rp=' it works for me. It seems to have an issue where you set the
remote printer to nothing, where it is set to lp by default if you leave
this out.
