"Description: lpr/lpd printer spooling system The LPRng software is an enhanced, extended, and portable version of the Berkeley LPR software (the standards UNIX printer spooler) You can use this for local and remote printers." also " ABSTRACT The LPRng software is an enhanced, extended, and portable version of the Berkeley LPR software. While providing the same general functionality, the imple- mentation is completely new and provides support for the following features: lightweight (no databases needed) lpr, lpc, and lprm programs; dynamic redirec- tion of print queues; automatic job holding; highly verbose diagnostics; multiple printers serving a sin- gle queue; client programs do not need to run SUID root; greatly enhanced security checks; and a greatly improved permission and authorization mechanism." So that means better, in the authors' opinion, at least.
