[ I'm not on the list so please cc me on any discussions ]

I just got fed up with SCO's VisionFS product and downloaded the latest
samba and installed it.  (I've used Samba on FreeBSD for some time now, and
wonder why I didn't do it sooner on SCO.)

Due to general wierdness with SCO, 'lpstat -v' provides extraneous output
during printer enumeration, which the following patch fixes.  Note that I've
tested this on OpenServer 5.0.x *only*, and supposedly the #ifdefs I've used
to wrap the code are only defined on OSR5.

If there are any questions/concerns, please email me directly.

Here is the patch.
