freebsd/etc/printcap
Andreas Klemm 2a77f569ef fixes:
a) the configured default printer entry might turn out to become a security hole
   Although lpd isn't enabled by default in FreeBSD 4 and later versions
   bad things might happen because of a simple copy and paste failure:
	- fill up root-fs, if /dev/lpt0 doesn't exist
	- fill up the spool dir (either root-fs or var-fs) if machine hadn't been
	  designed as print server
   Therefore best decision: if people want printing, then configure both
	1. /etc/rc.conf
	2. /etc/printcap
   the default entry wouldn't have served well all tastes and needs anyway...
   design of most of our config files is, to have commented out suggestions
   if a service is not active.
b) [Garance]
   fix old and wrong documentation:
	input filters are possible even if you print to a remote printer
   this makes FreeBSDs implementation of lpd currently the best without
   having to switch to port monster LPRng ...
c) fix pointer to wrong handbook section for a longer time .. so I doesn't fix the number
   I'm only referring to the printing section, otherwise this would have to be fixed several
   times, if the chapters should be reordered again ...
d) typo: chose -> choose

Submitted by:	me and some suggestions by Garance

# @(#)printcap 5.3 (Berkeley) 6/30/90
# $FreeBSD$
#
# This enables a simple local "raw" printer, hooked up to the first
# parallel port. No kind of filtering is done, so everything you pass
# to the "lpr" command will be printed unmodified.
#
# Remember, for further print queues you're going to add, you have
# to choose different spool directories (the "sd" capability below),
# otherwise you will greatly confuse lpd.
#
# For some advanced printing, have a look at the "apsfilter" package.
# It plugs into the lpd system, allowing you to print a variety of
# different file types by converting everything to PostScript(tm)
# format. For more information about apsfilter visit
#
# http://www.apsfilter.org/
#
# If you don't have a PostScript(tm) printer, don't panic, but do
# also install the latest "ghostscript" package for best printer support.
#
# Do also refer to the "printing" section of the handbook.
