At Sat, 17 Jul 2004 it looks like Peter Risdon composed:

If I'm not mistaken, cups does install "lpr" and "lprm" and "lpq" ..... but
I believe they have the following names

	lpr.cups
	lprm.cups
	lpq.cups

In the past I've renamed the original files that were there already:

	mv lpr lpr-ORIG
	mv lprm lprm-ORIG
	mv lpq lpq-ORIG

Then I create the symlinks so any programs "looking" for the original
names, and alot do, find the cups version through the re-direction that
occurs via symlinks.

	ln -s lpr.cups lpr
	ln -s lprm.cups lprm
	ln -s lpq.cups lpq

Of course this is done "inside" the directory where the files reside.
