1) This is a Debian Linux list, not a SunOS/Solaris list.

2) In answer to your query, printing is *completely* different
   between SunOS/Solaris. SunOS uses the BSD LPR style of printing
   while Solaris uses a heinous (SVR4-derived, I think) style of
   printing where you have to run all kinds of commands--I don't
   think there's a single "file" to edit to tell you the truth.
   I don't envy you--I had to transition and it wasn't fun.
