I asked here about printing from a Sun to a NeXT.  The problem was
that there was no "rp=Local_Printer" in the Sun's printcap entry for
the NeXT printer.  I thought that no "rp" would default to "lp" but
apparently one of the stupid idiotic changes NeXT (MACH) made was to
rename "lp" to "Local_Printer" just to break traditional Unix usage.
Sigh.

Thanks to all who sent suggestions.
