Hi, all

lprng can filter locally for a remote printer (see "bounce queues" in man
page). One of my working princap entries is like this:

hp4|hplj4|HP Laserjet 4:\
        :lp=hp4@my_station:\
        :bq=hplj4@server:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/hplj4:\
        :sh:pw#80:pl#72:px#1440:mx#0:\
        :if=/etc/magicfilter/ljet4-filter:\
        :af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:
