First of all, thanks to the many people that sent me their
printcap info. But it didn't work. I got the Local_Printer in
print panels, but trying to print resulted only in an error
message to lpd-errs ("Driver class not set in printer entry").

I finally had to nidump all my user, group, nfs, hosts, etc.,
info; copy the template netinfo database from
/usr/template/etc/netinfo; and niload everything back.

MAJOR hassle. And it's going to be even worse for people who
have a lab of machines...

Anyhow, I can finally print to my NeXT printer.
