You can put as many entries as you like there (even if the entries are
pointing to a single physical printer, but use different filters), but
don't forget to assign separate printer queues for each entry.

The filters are a bit tricky, but useable.  The input filters are
being called with the following arg list:

filter [-c] -w width -l length -i indent -n login -h host [acctfile]

The -c is the `raw' flag (lpr -l).
