[patch] berkeley/lpc.c does not behave like real BSD lpc

Version: 1.2-current

cups' lpc compatibility command does not understand the 'status all' subcommand of real BSD systems' lpc, treating 'all' as a printer name. Therefore, running 'lpc status all' shows nothing.
This makes software that relies on this (standard) behavior to get a list of printers (like the FreeBSD native Java port), to report no printers available when using cups' lpr compatibility commands.

The attached file is a patch against berkeley/lpc.c to correct this.

Reassigned to 1.2.

"lpc status all" is a relatively new additional - older OS's did not support it (or at least it was undocumented...)
