Well... ummm... uhh... there is a nasty way to avoid doing this.
In your ${HOME}/.printcap file:
lp:lp=host%9100:direct
Ummm... this will force LPR to make a direct connection to
port 9100 on the host and fling the job at it. Note that there
is no 'system' printcap entry.
You could also do:
lpr -Phost%9100 -Y
(-Y as in 'Yes, I know what I am doing')
Amazing what is buried in this code, right?
