Well, a little sleuthing never hurts. It appears that there is
supposed to be a daemon that forwards cups requests vi lpr, lpq,
etc. started out of inted/xinetd, but I can't seem to get xinetd
going.
The last time I successfully used cups was on Mandrake 7.2, and
even then Mandrake distoryed it on the very next upgrade. All was
magic 'cat xxx | lpr' worked. Must have had the magic daemon.
Meanwhile, I've discovered the existence of /usr/bin/lpr-cups ...,
and these work. Still don't have a clue why the cups
print-test-page function fails.
