Does CUPS install its own version of `lpr'? I suspect it does. See if you have a /usr/local/bin/lpr in addition to /usr/bin/lpr. If you do, then see if that version of lpr works. What you probably need to do is remove /usr/bin/lpr, or make it into a symlink to /usr/local/bin/lpr. You would also want to add to /etc/make.conf a line something like: NO_LPR=yes -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
