>Description:
The manual page lpd.8 mentions that lpd uses /dev/printer, but
actually it uses /var/run/printer.
>How-To-Repeat:
Read the man page of lpd, then examni if there is /dev/printer and
/var/run/printer. In my system, I could find only /var/run/printer.
Or, read the source of lpr/{common_source,lpd}.
