(i'd be happy to move this to a CUPS-specific mailing list if one exists, although there is definitely a psyche-related component to a lot of this.) 1) is there any conflict between the LPRng and CUPS config files? from what i see, LPRng uses /etc/printcap, while CUPS uses the /etc/cups directory structure. so can one switch from one system to the other safely without clobbering the respective config files? 2) the "lpinfo" command has definitely non-standard UNIX behavior in that option order is relevant: $ lpinfo -v # generates output $ lpinfo -lv # no output $ lpinfo -vl # output! that is *very* non-intuitive, and will trip a number of people. (not to mention that the addition of "-v" doesn't appear to be any more verbose.) the same feature holds with the -m option when combining with -v. rday -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
