[ILUG] printing in RedHat to Solaris

[Declan Houlihan]

I've looked and printconf-backend is correctly putting entries
from /etc/printcap.local into /etc/printcap.

I don't know of any other printcap files.
All of the spool directories are being created
correctly though and running checkpc returns
0 errors.
