We want to be careful about the stickiness of the current printer
setting.  At a minimum, we want the normal value of "Current printer"
to be something special like "default" or "none" so that we get the
usual Hesiod lookup from lpr.  Perhaps we want to go further, and
require the user to take extra action to make a printer change
"sticky" (i.e. apply to future logins).
