I would like to know how you decided to install the "cups" package, since its

You are quite correct that a google search using your search terms

Hi,
When I try to print a page from iceweasel, if I have lprng as my
spooler engine, I don't get in the file-print menu an option to print
PostScript/default as I do with iceape.
So with iceape I'm actually able to print stuff, but with iceweasel I
don't get how to do it...
to select between 8 and 24 only. It also
allows color selection, :)... Bad thing is that iceape does not allow
any quality setting, only color, :( And I bet that as I changed the
Default mode to Draft, when I perform "lpr /etc/printcap", then it'll

with something as clunky as foomatic-configure when apparently all it
does is edit that one line specifying the ppd file (and in the case of
lprng, badly)?
Just getting foomatic-gui on the box drags in cupsys and removes
lprng! Why? linuxprinting.org says the thing works with pretty much

One of my current tasks in upgrading from RH 8 to Sarge, which began

Hello,
I am experiencing a problem with lprng on several machines (all woody):

Users have also complained about missing print jobs, it would seem they
