Luke, could you help me on this.

1. Choose a print queue for this experiment.
   lp:
     :sd=/var/spool/.../lp
      ....
2. Add the following flag to the printcap entry:
   lp:
     :db=lpr+4
      ....
3. do 
       lpc reread
       checkpc -f

4. From one of the Win98 clients, send a job.

5. Remove the flag from the printcap file.

6. do 'lpc reread'

   Send me the /var/spool/.../lp/log file.  This has the trace of
   what happened when you sent a job.

Thanks!
