The lpr manpage currently refers users to a nonexistant printers(7)
manpage for a listing of printers and their capabilities.  The
printers manpage does not exist on any platform more recent than the
vax, and probably should not be updated and added to the next release
because the information is too volatile to put on a manpage.

rel-eng: here is a patch for the lpr manpage to remove the printers
reference.
