Try one of the following things (I do not know whether all points really
work exactly as described here):
- Run CUPS and LPD in parallel by letting CUPS as is and installing the
lpr and rhs-printfilters packages. Use "printerdrake -expert" or
"printerdrake -lpr". In this case the LPD printing commands are
"lpr-lpd", "lpq-lpd", "lprm-lpd", and "lpc-lpd".
- CUPS can emulate LPD, see http://localhost:631/sam.html or
http://www.cups.org/sam.html (CUPS-LPD mini-daemon).
- Run only LPD by removing CUPS, installing lpr and rhs-printfilters and
using "printerdrake -expert" or "printerdrake -lpr".
- If you want to use the "printtool", it is in the contribs.
