Well, I looked at the file again, read a bit of the man page on printtool and 
printcap, and I still don't know what need to be done to fix this so I will 
repeat the question I asked earlier. What do I need to put and where do I put 
it?

I am not a complete newbie but I have never encountered this problem before 
so I just don't know what to do to fix it.
