OK, I can't find anything about LPRng anyway. Not in yast, not in my
machine and not in any of the SuSE-6.0 cd's.

I tried to do something like that before, but I can't find out how to
create such an additional printer queue. I tried yast:
system administration ->
integrate hardware ->
configure printers
only to get a form where I can not enter a name like printer.single.
So I tried to add a PS_300dpi (alongside my existing PS_600dpi)
After that, I edited /etc/apsfilterrc.PS_300dpi to contain FEATURE=1l
and I could indeed print single column in landscape with
lpr -PPS_300dpi
which I finally gave an alias (lprw).
But I can hardly believe that this is the right way to do it. Is there
a better one?
