Description of problem:
The princonf-gui utility configures numeric entries in /etc/printcap
with an "=" sign instead of a "#" sign.  This is VERY ANNOYING as lpd restart
over writes manual corrections.  

The error can be found in /usr/share/printconf/util/printconf_backend.py
 on lines:

    523                                 'ml=0',
    524                                 'mx=0',

By the way "mx=0" trashes your ability to print large documents (1000 
page plus).

Many thanks,
