	At the end the reply is a sample entry for an LN03R.  I'll
	point out some things of particular interest.  In general
	you can get the basic setup done for a support printer using
	lprsetup.

	First thing of interest; lp=.  Choose what tty special device
	you want to use.  Make sure it's turned off in /etc/ttys.  You
	also need to enable host initiated connects on it.  When you
	start the LAT (probably in /etc/rc.local) use the -h option
	to enable that tty:

		/etc/lcp -s -h /dev/tty12 [ other-options ]

	If the terminal server is restricting access by group code then
	the host needs to oblige (-g group-code).

	Next thing of interest is :os=:op=:ts=:.  Locally we only have
	to use op= to specify the port and ts= the terminal server.  You
	may have to provide a value for os= or force it to a null string.
	You could specify the port and terminal with the -h command, but
	I find it easier to split them up.

	The ct= should be "lat".  Most everything else is dependent on
	the printer.
