He doesn't need a printer-port, as he's remote printing (rm=156.200.5.80)
over his TCP/IP-network, like me. Maybe I should look up my /etc/printcap,
which worked over network before upgrading the printer server to potato
(Can't do it now, as I'm not on my machine), but I suppose it looks quite
similar.
