Lprng provides lpr and is characterized as a BSD "spooling system". CUPS, on the other hand, is described as a "printing system". I installed CUPS but not lpr/lprng.
I cannot print from AUCTeX: Running `Print' on `test' with ``dvips -P hp_Laserjet_1320_series_USB_1 test'' dvips: warning: no config file for `hp_Laserjet_1320_series_USB_1' This is dvips(k) 5.96.1 Copyright 2007 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com) ' TeX output 2009.09.04:1059' -> | lpr -Php_Laserjet_1320_series_USB_1 sh: lpr: command not found </usr/share/texmf-texlive/dvips/base/tex.pro> </usr/share/texmf-texlive/dvips/base/texps.pro> Print broken pipe at Fri Sep 4 11:52:06 However, I do have /etc/cups/printers.conf that has: # Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.3.8 # Written by cupsd on 2009-09-04 11:39 <DefaultPrinter hp_Laserjet_1320_series_USB_1> Info hp LaserJet 1320 series Location Local Printer DeviceURI usb://HP/LaserJet%201320%20series State Idle StateTime 1252078723 Accepting Yes Shared Yes JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 OpPolicy default ErrorPolicy stop-printer </Printer> Does this imply that dvips requires the installation of lpr/lprng in addition to CUPS? Is the warning about no config file for my printer only the result of not having lpr installed? What is implied here by the "broken pipe"?
