Odd Looking Cups printcap file

I am adding some new printers to my config and I noticed that my /etc/printcap file & /etc/cups/printcap file look odd. The last printer in the file looks like it doubled up the printer name in the printcap file. ( see below )

Since we never had an lprinter15 in use ( it was added to the orig config for future use) I cant say for sure that it worked ok before.  I am planning to remove all of the printers from the cups/printer.conf except for 1 & 2 & see if it doubles up the name of lprinter2 & if it will print to lprinter2.

Whatever printer is the last one in the printers.conf file doubles up the name.

Is this normal or does anyone see a problem here?

Running Suse 9 & cups 1.3

printcap file:
