This is useful for queuing print jobs. There may be a more recent release available from the LPRng home page. You can check and probably use the existing BLFS instructions. Note that versions other than the one shown in the download URLs have not been tested in a BLFS environment. &lfs70_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &LPRng-md5sum; Download size: &LPRng-size; Estimated disk space required: &LPRng-buildsize; Estimated build time: &LPRng-time; LPRng Dependencies Optional , and krb4 User Notes: Install LPRng by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --libexecdir=/usr/lib/lprng \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --enable-shared && make This package does not come with a test suite. Now, as the root user: make install /etc/printcap and /etc/lpd/* /etc/printcap /etc/lpd/* There is no generic printcap for all printers. A sample printcap is loaded into the /etc directory which can be of some help. Information is also available at and .
