CUPS is almost the only game in town, but there was a project I long admired a great deal, that ran a very lightweight print subsystem with no queuing, called PDQ (print, don't queue). It's been unmaintained for quite a few years, but is probably still practical. Because it has an interface to Foomatic, it supports all printers that work under CUPS or LPRng. (It still runs a daemon process but it's a small, simple one.) http://pdq.sourceforge.net/introduction.html https://sourceforge.net/p/pdq/news/2006/06/resurrect-pdq/ _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
