Finally got around to writing up a short document on setting up lpd
printing on FreeBSD. Parallel, USB, and network printers are included,
along with some simple filtering.

Thanks, Warren. I'd add one simplification (perhaps). To create the spool
directory (or many) just use:

chkprintcap -d

Wow, I had no idea chkprintcap could do anything more than, well, check
printcap. Using it to create the directory would be easier but doesn't
show what it's doing.

It's nice that it sets the directory owner and group to daemon. I
forgot that... and have now added it.

Thanks!
