Hello,
I am trying to figure out how to add an option to an existing entry in the /etc/printcap. This file is recreated by the lp print service, so I have to put the entry in the printcap.local file. I cant find any sources that show how to edit an existing entry , only add new entries in the printcap.local. If I put the entire printer entry in the local file, a restart of the printer service appends the revised printer parameters so I have two virtually identical entries. Thanks in advance for any ideas.
