lpr is what I use to print. And it ends up going through CUPS. At least, it did last time I successfully printed. It turns out that there are several packages that provide lpr. CUPS is one of them. Presumably it provided an lpr that passes everything through CUPS. I had anther machine where I did not use CUPS an spent quite a while figuring out how to find, install, and configure the 'plain old lpr'. Abd that involved getting a print driver from the manufacturer. Of course, they provided an 'installer' which had to be run as root and changed an plastered whatever it wanted around the file system (something I don't appreciate). I no longer know how I accomplished that. But when I installed Devuan jessie on my new computer a few years ago, it came with CUPS and just worked. -- hendrik > > Regards, > /Karl Hammar > > > _______________________________________________ > Dng mailing list > Dng@lists.dyne.org > https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
