[cups.general] configuring as400

[angel bosch]

thx for your info, the problem was i didn't have acces to as400 itself
and i was not sure what to tell to its operator. now i can print from
ibm's mainframes :)

the only problem is that every job takes too much time to print. i've
found some messages talking about slow cups printing in general, but
nothing about cups + cups-lpd, so im not sure if this is a problem with
lpd itself or a wide problem with cups.

any (other) hints?
