remove the above :lp definition since its NOT connected to a
printer on this particular machine
remove :rp since this is not needed here

the above says to send all print jobs to the machine called 10.10.1.3
on that particular machine, can it print evrything" ??
10.10.1.3# lpr /etc/printcap
10.10.1.3# lpr postscript_file.ps
10.10.1.3 might need to convert postscript and other whacky files
into the output format that printer understands
sometimes the printer manager is also waiting for "CRLF" at the end
of the print job
- restarting the printer daemon locally will tell the
remote printer "i'm done" and paper will promptly start spewing
out
