Since you did not get an immediate answer, I'll share my experience although it is not much. Usually I carry my old lpr programs and scripts from one update to the next - I don't like to change. Moving to 6.3 I did the same - carrying from 6.1 what I had there (I guess it is "lprold"). But before doing that, I tried the 6.3 lprng. It works quite nicely and has some cool features I do not have with my old lpr. It is widely different from lprold but I can't go into the details here - it is in the documentation. Still, after testing lprng and being satisfied with it, I decided I don't need the new features and went back to my old lpr. I have two simple scripts which allow me to switch from one system to another, just to see what happens from time to time (when I seem to have problems with printing), like so (being root or su root): /usr/local/bin/lprold: --------------------------------- killall lpd cd /etc cp printcap.61 printcap cd /usr/sbin cp lpd.61 lpd cp lpc.61 lpc cd /usr/bin cp lpr.61 lpr cp lprm.61 lprm cp lpq.61 lpq cp lpstat.61 lpstat rm -f cancel lpd & ------------------------- /usr/local/bin/lprng: -------------------------- killall lpd cd /etc cp printcap.63 printcap cd /usr/sbin cp lpd.63 lpd cp lpc.63 lpc cd /usr/bin cp lpr.63 lpr cp lprm.63 lprm cp lpq.63 lpq cp lpstat.63 lpstat cp lprm.63 cancel lpd & -------------------------- On Sat, May 06, 2000 at 06:27:53PM -0400, Steven T.

There are three options for print daemons included in the SuSE 6.4 distribution. I am wondering what the differences between them are. I anybody knows, I'd like it have a clue myself.
