<div dir="ltr"><div>Uh, I thought lpr(1) was an interface to CUPS. At least, that's how it works on my machines at home. I have a CUPS/scanner server set up on my network, but from the command line I use lpr(1) to print to the printers attached to it. Am I confused?<br>

<br>
Both of them are going to need some kind of direct access given that some of the clients will use their own drivers. So which system do I use now? I remember most of my lpr setup process (though it has been a while) but almost everything else around keeps referencing CUPS.<br>
<br>
Thoughts?<br>

PS: This is the first install I've done on a multi-head system that went so smoothly. X just worked (with nvidia drivers), it was quite pleasant compared to the old incantations.<br>
