System name:		m11-113-1
Type and version:	POWER 7.3R (Regular Shitbox / 6000)
Display type:		colorgda

What were you trying to do?
	enscript a file and send it to a printer (-P option)

What's wrong:
	enscript doesn't seem to like the -P option -- says its
illegal.  It then completes the enscript, and says <foo> left on
<printername>, except the printer name has the first letter amputated.

What should have happened:
	enscript should have sent the enscripted file to the printer I
specified, instead of la-la land.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	The enscript man page mentions the -P option for specifying a
printer.  Something is wrong here, folks....
