If you specify a printcap name or alias as * (wildcard), then if the LPRng system cannot find a printcap with the exact name then the first matching wildcard will be used. For example:
pr|*:rm=server
lpr -Ppr2 will match, and result in a printcap entry
pr|pr2:rm=server
*|pr:rm=server
lpr -Ppr2 will match, and result in a printcap entry
pr2|pr:rm=server
