No, I think.

I get:

$ cat test_pr.sh
#!/bin/bash

p='/proc/registry/HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows 
NT/CurrentVersion/Windows/Device'

[ -e "${p}" ] && read -r PRINTER < "${p}" && PRINTER=${PRINTER%%,*}

echo 'echo $PRINTER'
echo $PRINTER

$ ./test_pr.sh
echo $PRINTER
HP Deskjet 3740 Series,winspool,Ne03:
----------------------^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
which is *wrong*. See ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ above!

With base-files-4.0-4 I get:

$ echo $PRINTER
HP Deskjet 3740 Series

which is right.

Ciao,
Angelo.
