As a matter of fact, using the ports, I have compiled and installed LPRng, apsfilter, cups, magicfilter over and over again, and now in the various ../bin or ../sbin dir I find at list a couple of lpr, lpc, lpr, and so on. Now I'd like to turn back to the original installation situation, cleaning everything is useless (In a nutshell a would go back to a LPD printing system alone) ** without ** reinstalling FreeBSD from scratch (I compiled also kde). Could you please suggest a correct procedure to do it? Ciao Vittorio
