At Sat, 17 Jul 2004 it looks like Peter Risdon composed: > Cups installs /usr/local/bin/lp and /usr/local/bin/lpr and leaves > /usr/bin/lp and /usr/bin/lpr in place. Back these up, symlink the cups > versions into their places and try again. > If I'm not mistaken, cups does install "lpr" and "lprm" and "lpq" ..... but I believe they have the following names lpr.cups lprm.cups lpq.cups In the past I've renamed the original files that were there already: mv lpr lpr-ORIG mv lprm lprm-ORIG mv lpq lpq-ORIG Then I create the symlinks so any programs "looking" for the original names, and alot do, find the cups version through the re-direction that occurs via symlinks. ln -s lpr.cups lpr ln -s lprm.cups lprm ln -s lpq.cups lpq Of course this is done "inside" the directory where the files reside. -- Bill Schoolcraft PO Box 210076 -o) San Francisco CA 94121 /\ "UNIX, A Way Of Life." _\_v http://billschoolcraft.com
