the Wildcard Printcap Entry</a></h1>
<p>The wildcard printcap name <tt class="LITERAL">*</tt> is
used to select a default or printcap entry when a match is not
found in the printcap database.</p>
<div class="INFORMALEXAMPLE">
<a name="AEN5774" id="AEN5774"></a>
<pre class="SCREEN">
# %P and %Q set to printer name
*:lp=%P@server
# %P set to 'printer', %Q set to printer name
printer|*:lp=%P@server
</pre>
</div>
<p>When searching for printcap information, the <b class=
"APPLICATION">LPRng</b> software will first search for an exact
match for a printcap entry against the printcap names and
aliases. If non is found, it then searches for a wildcard entry
and uses the first one found with a wildcard name or alias.</p>
<p>If the wildcard <tt class="LITERAL">*</tt> is the printcap
name, then the printer name (<tt class="LITERAL">%P</tt> value)
and queue (<tt class="LITERAL">%Q</tt> value) are set to the
name being searched for. If the wildcard is an alias, then then
printer name is set to the printcap main entry name and the
queue to the name being searched for.</p>
