I'm printing successfull with CUPS (cupsys packages in woody; see also <http://www.cups.org/>) both with kernel 2.2.17 and 2.4.0-test5.
It's a great new printing system, but has replacements for all lpr related commands (package cupsys-bsd) plus out-of-the-box working net functions, web-interface, printer classes, multiple print queues, genuin n-up printing etc. Greetings, joachim
