xfprint4 issue

[Jason Keltz]

Hi..

The output of lpq on our system is as follows:

Printer: csb2054 at silver (dest csb2054 at localhost) 'Research Master Queue (csb2054)' (subservers csb2054-1, csb2054-2)

This is an LPRng master/slave queue configuration.. is this confusing the
BSD-LPR engine?

How would the system get the printer list from this anyway?  (There are
about 30 other printers in our dept.)

If there is a way for me to hack a specially crafted lpq to make this
work, it would be great...
