This patch collects all of the lp bug fixes that have been made to date.

This patch fixes a number of problems when printing with PC-NFS.

This patch fixes a number of bugs that can cause lpsched to segv.

If the print server already has a postscript printer configured,
then the new standard interface script should be copied in place of
the existing interface script.  For example, if the printer is
named xyz, then once the patch is installed, the standard interface
script, /usr/lib/lp/model/standard, should be copied to
/etc/lp/interfaces/xyz.  Each printer will have a copy of the
standard interface script in /etc/lp/interfaces, so a copy will need
to be made for each printer.

Patch Installation Instructions: 
-------------------------------- 
Refer to the Install.info file within the patch for instructions on
using the generic 'installpatch' and 'backoutpatch' scripts provided
with each patch.  Any other special or non-generic installation
instructions should be described below.

Special Install Instructions: 
-----------------------------

NOTE1:Before installing this patch, stop lpsched.
After patch is installed, before restarting lpsched,in order to get the log
file mode fix, remove the lpsched and lpNet log files from /var/lp/logs.

After installing this patch on a print server, one should re-add any
filter definitions that have changed.  The following script can be used
to do this task:
 
#!/bin/sh
cd /etc/lp/fd
for filt in *.fd
do
fname=`basename $filt .fd`
lpfilter -f $fname -x
lpfilter -f $fname -F $filt
done
