printcap advice?

[Adam Shostack <adam_(_at_)_homeport_(_dot_)_org>]

When setting up a new printer, I spent along time discovering that the
following two printcap entries are not identical:

lp|hewlett-packard:\ 
        lp=:rm=hp:rp=lp:sd=/var/spool/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\ 
        sh: 

lp|hewlett-packard:\ 
        lp=:\
	rm=hp:\
	rp=lp:\
	sd=/var/spool/lpd:\
	lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\ 
        sh: 

I strongly prefer the second form.  Its worked on 4.3 bsd systems, its
worked on BSDI 4.4 systems.  Is there a reason it broke on OpenBSD
(2.1, sparc)
