After looking over the bug reports, cupsys-bsd will create a link from /var/run/cups/printcap to /etc/printcap _if_ it doesn't exist or dangles, http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=193069 . Several years of experience with CUPS says the maintainer knows best, so I deleted the old printcap, re-installed cupsys-bsd and let Jeff create the link :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
