Sorry if this is a FAQ, but i could not find an answer in handbook, ml-archive or google: I have three printing systems installed on my FreeBSD-5.3 system: - FreeBSD lpr - LPRng - cups-lpr The fact that LPRng and cups-lpr install the lpr binary in the same place is not the problem here. :-) What can become annoying is that there are two lpr binaries in PATH: /usr/bin/lpr and /usr/local/bin/lpr. Depending on your PATH you get one or the other. Renaming /usr/bin/lpr to lpr.old only helps until the next "make world" creates a new /usr/bin/lpr. Is there a solution that is independent of PATH and "make world"-resistent? Maybe remove the old BSD lpr from the base system into a package that one may install or not? Or is there a way to keep "make world" from installing certain binaries (which, in turn, would have to be "cvs update"-resistent?)
