Hmmm. You haven't been following this group in the last little
while! I posted about this a couple of times! :-)

You can try to niload this:
--------------------------------------------
Local_Printer: \
        :lf=/usr/adm/lpd-errs:sf=:sb=:lp=/dev/null:mx=0: \
        :if=/usr/lib/NextPrinter/Server/prserver: \
        :cf=/usr/lib/NextPrinter/Server/pscf: \
        :df=/usr/lib/NextPrinter/Server/psdf: \
        :gf=/usr/lib/NextPrinter/Server/psgf: \
        :nf=/usr/lib/NextPrinter/Server/psnf: \
        :rf=/usr/lib/NextPrinter/Server/psrf: \
        :tf=/usr/lib/NextPrinter/Server/pstf: \
        :vf=/usr/lib/NextPrinter/Server/psvf: \
        :sd=/usr/spool/NeXT/Local_Printer:nxformat=3.0: \
        :ty=NeXT 400 dpi Level II Printer:_writers=*:_ignore:
--------------------------------------------

But it didn't work for me. I wound up nudumping all my netinfo
stuff, copying the template netinfo database in
/usr/template/client/etc/netinfo to /etc/netinfo, and niloading
everything back in. That worked. Your mileage may vary.

Hope this helps,
