In my eyes your printcap looked weird. I don't have my own machine at hand
here and don't remember the printcap, but:
I managed to put printing in order using Lyx-documentation. There is
included with Lyx a file called 'customization', which is telling the
whole story how to write the spooling system, the ps-filter and the
printcap-file. I don't have Netscape, but at least my printing-system
(using an old 2$ matrix-printer and ghostscript) works with Amaya, Gzilla
and any ps-files now.
