[STR New]
(This is actually for 1.4.3, but that choice is not yet available in the
'Software Version' selector!)
While lpr(1) to a non-existent printer produces just one correct error
message:
; lpr -Pnull -Hcups:634 tiger.ps
lpr: The printer or class was not found.
;
lpq(1) produces two:
; lpq -Pnull -hcups:634
lpq: The printer or class was not found.
lpq: The printer or class was not found.
;
The 'cups:634' is because I am running 1.4.3 as an experimental server at
the moment. (The -H/-h thing still jars, by the way.)
