How do I tell lp (or lpr) to use the > localhost cups server and not the one that the school provides? Have you tried changing the setting of ServerName in the file /etc/cups/client.conf (and then running "/etc/init.d/cupsys restart") ? /usr/bin/lpr is the version of lpr in the cupsys-bsd package, right? (Run "dpkg -S /usr/bin/lpr" to check) Good luck, -- Kevin B.
