"bool" means it's there (true) or it isn't (false, the default). '='
is for str type variables, and setting it to the _string_ value "true"
isn't what you want.

IMHO, "/etc/printcap" could stand to have more and more current
examples, though it would be bad to go the way of "termcap", which has
thousands of entries, no more than 4 or 5 of which are ever used.
