I will definitely be looking into rlpr.
Since I wrote my original message, I noticed that rlpr is orphaned. I no longer work in an office and print things about once a year, so I no longer use the package, but it was a lifesaver when I was working in an office regularly and I do recommend it. If anyone else who still prints regularly prefers the simple command-line interface, you may want to consider adopting it, although it looks like you're likely to have to adopt upstream as well since it seems to have disappeared. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
