[ILUG] print server configuration strangeness

[ILUG] print server configuration strangeness

print server running samba & lpd

there are 2 network printers specified in the printcap file
lets say printerA & printerB

when both printers are specified all the jobs for printerA get sent to printerB
and all the jobs for printerB don't get done at all.

when they are entered in the printcap file on their own they work, why
is this? & whats the fix?

(heres a copy of my printcap file)

# printcap
#
# This file is included by printconf's generated printcap,
# and can be used to specify custom hand edited printers.
