Hmmm ... one possibility would be to offer an option that would allow 
the installer to specify a separate location for /etc/printcap.  I can, 
of course (and probably will) just replace the "/etc/printcap" with the 
location of another file that contains the printers.    As a quick hack, 
I tried to symlink /etc/printcap to the real (shared) printcap file, and 
although the printers all do get listed now, the list gets messed up a 
bit because the format for the LPRng file can be a bit different.

will do.

By the way ... is there any way that the system can take the default 
printer from the users "PRINTER" environment variable, and make that the 
default printer in xfprint4/xfprint-manager?

Thanks,
