Add minimal support for "o"-type print-file actions in lpd control files.
This was described in the original RFC wrt lpr, but most lpr's do not actually implement it. There is some indication that MacOS 10.1 will be using this when sending postscript files to print servers (that is what "o"-type was supposed to signify -- postscript files). MFC after: 1 week
