   use /var/spool/output instead of /var/spool/lpd as the default spooldir,
   because that's what lpd, the SMM, and hier(7) has used for ages, even
   if printcap(5) and this file were wrong...


when you say "lpd" there, how was lpd using it beyond what was listed in
/etc/printcap?  from what i can tell, this was a code vs. documentation
error, and you've fixed it in the code...?  personally, i *much* prefer
that `/var/spool/lpd' be used, because that's the name of the program
spooling.  WTF does `output' mean?  any number of things.
