Its not, and this documentation is a few months old. My impression from this document file is using this program is preferred as it will do plain-text filtering for you--otherwise you need to do your own parsing to do plain-text filtering etc. I grabbed a2ps, and things seem to be working fine with it, but I'm just curious as to where lprps is at, as I would rather have it.. -Brandon Gillespie
