Well, a good strategy for a first time user (on a "first time OS" so to
say "fresh installed") would certainly be choosing to overwrite his
printcap what apsfilters SETUP already offers.

BTW, exactly for that reason FreeBSD has 2 commented out printcap 
example entries, since this _has_ to be customized by a user / admin.

On the other hand it would not be a big deal to modify SETUP, to check,
if printcap already has a default printer installed.

	egrep "^lp|" /etc/printcap

I will add this to the TODO list.
