System name:		woof
Type and version:	SPARC/Classic 7.6L
Display type:		cgthree

What were you trying to do?

	print (lpr) without needing to specify a printer 

What's wrong:

	various machines in E40 seem to not have a default printer 
	set in their cluster information.  (Others, seemingly at random,
	do.  For instance, of the two machine on my desk, laika has 
	"nil" set as the printer, while "woof" has nothing.  Odd.)

What should have happened:

	well, it would be nice if it were at least consistent.  Actually,
	it'd be nice if all the machines everwhere had a default printer.
	:)

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
