dreport spools output to wrong printer

[Barry Wiseman]

Spent this afternoon pounding my head over a report that filePro was
stubbornly sending to the wrong printer.

Linux RHE 3.0
dreport 5.0.14D4

system printers include:

system default destination: hp8100
device for hp8100: socket://192.168.1.4:9100
device for jeff: socket://192.168.1.5:9100
device for mary: socket://192.168.1.6:9100

config file had (irrelevant entries omitted):

printer7 = jeff,dr_hp3,lp -s -djeff,Jeff's printer
printer8 = mary,dr_hp3,lp -s -dmary,Accting printer
printer9 = dr_hp3,dr_hp3

Output table had Printer name: dr_hp3

With no -p on the command line, no value in LPDEST, no "printer"
statements in processing, I would expect the report to go to the default
printer, "hp8100".  Instead, it was going to "jeff".

After much head-scratching, I edited the config table to read:

printer7 = dr_hp3,dr_hp3
printer8 = jeff,dr_hp3,lp -s -djeff,Jeff's printer
printer9 = mary,dr_hp3,lp -s -dmary,Accting printer

whereupon the job went to the default printer as expected.

So fP was was grabbing the first definition for the printer *type* 
dr_hp3, not the one for printer *name* dr_hp3.

Bug or feature?
