It is a bit strange because the " is a special character:
$ echo '*printerCommand: "' | xrdb -merge
<stdin>:1:18: warning: missing terminating " character [enabled by default]
Now, concerning the bug, with the empty string, there are indeed
no effects. But I don't think that xterm should terminate when
there is a problem with the printer command.
