I'm having some problems printing from a unix (mach) shell.
When I type :

   lpr filename

(after having created filename with, say ... vi)

I can see the job started with 'lpq'.  But only two seconds later
the job disappears!!  I have printers defined in the top (/) netinfo 
domain.  I also have a local (.) netinfo printcap entry.  Some
of the printer names appear in both.  This is all under 3.0.

I thought that 'lpr' was supposed to use the first printer it knew
about (unless you specify the -P flag).  But now I'm totally confused.
Is the a default printer that 'lpr' uses?  Is it the first printer
in the (/) printcap entry, or does it use the first printer in the 
(.) printcap entry?  Or does it use the /etc/printcap file?!!  The FM 
makes no mention of the order in which 'lpr' searches for printers.

What I really want to do is print manual pages.  I am using the 
following UNIX command:

  troff -t -man man_page.1 | lpr -t -Pprinter_name

But when I check printer_name (with 'lpq -Pprinter_name') I see
nothing!!!

printer_name is listed in the printcap of the local (.) ni domain as
a remote printer.  Any ideas??  Thanks in advance.  Sorry if this was
too wordy.
