[STR New]

While testing support for parsing printers.conf in Augeas
(http://augeas.net, a configuration API), it was found the
<DefaultPrinter> section is closed with </Printer> rather than the more
obvious </DefaultPrinter>.  The Augeas lens was expecting a matching set
of tags so failed to parse.

While this is an issue with Augeas (though not an easy one to fix), it
seems this could be a common trap and it improved by using
</DefaultPrinter> to match HTML, XML and Apache HTTP type config files.

Attached is a patch to change this, preserving compatibility to read old
printers.conf files.  It's untested, but compiles with trunk.
