>Description:
The NetBSD Guide's `recipe' to create a working print server is not
complete and does not work if followed to the letter. The default
value of lpd_flags in /etc/defaults/rc.conf is "-s", which makes
lpd listen on Unix domain sockets only. The Guide should add to
its description that the user should change lpd_flags so it doesn't
include the -s flag anymore.

The following are diffs for English and Dutch versions of the Guide:
