It definitely will not remove the lpr binaries from /usr/bin if they exist there. There already is a proper solution for this: if you want to have LPR from CUPS, and don't want to use LPR from base, then you set these settings in make.conf: CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE=3Dyes WITHOUT_LPR=3Dyes With these, lpr in base will not be built, and print/cups-base will deactivate any base system lpr binaries that are installed. It's documented in the FreeBSD CUPS article here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/cups/article.html#PRINTING-CUPS-PORT= S-KNOBS Cheers Tom
