It looks like there's been a problem with printing on the W20 printers
since Aug 28, until a few minutes ago when I fixed it. In syslogger, there
have been LOADS of messages like:
W20-575-P1.MIT.EDU lpd[16733]: Cannot chdir to spooling directory
/usr/spool/printer/w20-east-4 for W20-EAST-4
For SysSupport people: This was an old hand-hack of dkk's. The printers
all have Japanese-sounding names, which don't match the names
on the outside of the printers. To make things work, I figured
out which names matched up (using the ttys in /etc/printcap),
and made links to the right spooling areas.
w20-575-p1# pwd
/site/usr/spool/printer
w20-575-p1# ls -l

For everyone: Printing on these printers seems to work now.
