Remote printing with plp

The plp program is very serious about security, so printer access has to be explicitely allowed for printer jobs from other hosts. This can be done by
chmod 0662 /dev/lp?

If you want to use another printer using the plp program, you should set the option bk in the file /etc/printcap. The printcap manpage says this:

  bk  R   bool false       backwards-compatible: 
                           be strictly RFC-compliant
Example for /etc/printcap:
lw|laser-writer:\
        :lp=:rm=rufsun5:rp=lw:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lw:\
        :lf=/var/log/lw-errs:\
        :bk:mx#0:
