Subjective but let's say maybe

n.

cups do provide lpr as well, so it works both with cups and lpr from base a=
nd as
for the non modern part I would have said different as cups is different fr=
om
lpr, but lpr is still working fine and wildly used (I do use both).

Never the less, the tips is still very valid, and useful in a sense that it
allows people to learn about tools lot of people have forgotten about. col(=
1)
for instance which is still very useful. when I see how lots of people are
reinventing col(1) all the time in sed,awk,python,etc... I think having tips
that tell them col(1) and other utilities do exist is a good idea.
