printcap file contents for lpr

[Al Plant-2]

Aloha,

I have a network of FreeBSD machines and I put a HP Netbook on it. I use
lpr for the printer on the lan  and I need to look at a copy of the
/etc/printcap file for Ubuntu. The standard Unix /etc/printcap I use on
all the other boxes on the lan doesn't seem to work. It has been a long
time since I have had to use Linux and I dont remember the printcap
configuration.

Could someone give me a sample.

Thanks...

The default printer spooler for most Lionux distros (including Ubuntu)
is CUPS which doesn't use printcap (but provides one for other
programs).
In Ubuntu the package "lpr" provides BSD lpd
