Don't send the generated output to the printer by default.
Sending the file by default to the printer is (IMHO): . counter-intuitive; the name a2ps suggests that the tool converts ASCII (plus other files) to Postscript, but it by no means gives a hint that it would print something without asking, . violating the Unix way; we've got pipes, and people are used to use them when they want to print something (IMHO there isn't even a good reason for adding all the -P bloat to a2ps at all, but of course, i don't suggest changing _that_), . contradictionary to all the documentation about a2ps since the docs tell you that it would only start printing if a -P or -c option is being provided, . a waste of paper for the brave user who starts the program in the innocent assumption to get just a Postscript file out of it. Not objected by: ports@freebsd.org, maintainer
