the old printcap file do not converted to the new format, and the even
if I change it by hand it's no longer works (see results). I even try to
use the new printtool (which is far worse then the old one, at least I cant
find old options eg. on out HP lj5M I use 2 pages per output pages which
simple disappear, sad:-((). after I reconfigure the printers those still
not work.
when I restart lpd I always get:
-------------------------
Stopping lpd:                                              [  OK  ]
Starting lpd: Warning - 'if' filter '/var/spool/lpd/hp5m/filter' does not
have execute perms
Warning - 'if' filter '/var/spool/lpd/canon/filter' does not have execute
perms
                                                           [  OK  ]
-------------------------
but when I change the permission from 600 to 700 and restart again:
-------------------------
Stopping lpd:                                              [  OK  ]
Starting lpd: Warning - permissions of 'filter' are 0700, not 0600
Warning - 'if' filter '/var/spool/lpd/hp5m/filter' does not have execute
perms
Warning - 'if' filter '/var/spool/lpd/canon/filter' does not have execute
perms
                                                           [  OK  ]
-------------------------

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. upgarde from 7.0
2. try to print
3. restart lpd
	

Actual Results:  I see such logs:
-------------------
Printer: hp5m@garfield (dest hp5m)
 Queue: no printable jobs in queue
 Status: subserver pid 1213 exit status 'JFAIL' at 10:28:39.950
 Filter_status: sending to hp5m.inside
Printer 'hp5m' - cannot open connection - Connection refused
------------------
there is no user required for printing, so I don't know from where lpd find
out the hp5m user ???
------------------
Status: IF filter 'mf_wrapper' filter msg - 'closing *main::KID3' at
19:35:44.289
Status: IF filter 'filter' filter msg - 'Make_passthrough: pid 1214, execve
'/var/spool/lpd/hp5m/filter' failed - 'Permission denied'' at 10:27:52.959
 Status: IF filter 'filter' filter exit status 'JABORT' at 10:27:52.959
------------------
....

Expected Results:  I able to print:-)
