I recently brought up 0.9 and find that I cannot print anything other than
the test page from the print program.  I use neither YP nor netinfo, since
my network consists of one NeXT, one 386/ix PC, and one DOS PS/2.  A few
minutes of poking around shows a lot of "cannot start daemon" messages, and
it appears that the spooler dies with a bus error immediately after startup.
On the console, I also get "unknown printer: np", even though my printcap
looks reasonable.  Perhaps nobody tested printing without netinfo turned on.

Before I do a lot more investigation, I know that there have been lots of
problems with 0.9 printing and wonder if this one seems familiar.
