  I've recently changed the type of some of our laser printers from 
LaserWriter to LaserSpooler, so that papif and lwsrv can see the printers,
but a Mac cannot.  I would like the cap program 'atlooklws' to be able
to get a status report from those printers as well.  I could modify the
code to look for LS instead of LW, but then I won't be able to see regular
LaserWriters.
  What I would like to do is set up a wildcard, so the program looks for
the equivelent of "Laser*", resulting in both LaserWriter and LaserSpooler
(or whatever suffix I want to give it) being found.  It seems that the
characters '=' and '*' are already reserved as some type of global wildcards,
ie. '=:=' means find all devices of all types.  Is there a similar syntax
for what I want to do?
