I have a problem with lpq.  It does not work...
Here is the problem
---
prompt> lpr /etc/printcap
lpr: unknown printer lp
---
When /etc/printcap is
---
ps|PostScript|generic PostScript printer:\
        :rp=ps:\
        :rm=bacchus:\
        :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/ps:\
        :mx#0:\
        :lf=/usr/adm/lpd-errs.ps:
lp|line printer:\
        :rp=lp:\
        :rm=bacchus:\
        :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/lp:\
        :mx#0:\
        :lf=/usr/adm/lpd-errs.lp:
---
Happens on both ps and lp.
We have a Sparc 1+ with the same printcap file on the same network
and it works fine.  Whats wrong with the dec (5000/240)

Thanks.

James
