Hmm.  Is that the entire printcap file?  It looks pretty reasonable
to me.  What happens if you try to reference the print queue by any
of the other names you've defined?  What does an 'lpc status all'
tell you?

Do you have more than one version of lpr installed?  what do you
see from the command 'which lpr' or 'type -a lpr'?
