Caldera lpr question

Hi;
Still running Caldera on one partition with LPRng.
I have two printer names, an lp1 and lp2. So I have two print spools
/var/spool/lpd/lp1 and /var/spool/lpd/lp2 and these printer names are
set up in /etc/printcap. The same generic HP Deskjet printfilter (line
for line) appears in both spools.
OK so far.
But I can set up the printers differently using COAS, for example,
different paper sizes. When I do this, there is NO change in
/etc/printcap. Yet the printer names use the paper I've selected.
Where is the file that contains the printer information for the named
printers (paper, ink, blah blah)?
Thanks!
