around 1998 you could already print with other tools than lpr or lprng.
Until now, I was not aware that an "lpr" system still is in the Debian
archive. I am running Debian 10 on a pc set up by the Debian
installer. CUPS is installed; "lpr" is NOT installed.
But CUPS recognises a "lpr" command, and "man lpr" displays a man page
authored by Apple, Inc.
So the approach I am using is both simple and modern. CUPS installs
and manages the printer, which prints from the "raw" queue, in reponse
to commands of the sort "lpr -P oki labelname".
