At Sat, 17 Jul 2004 it looks like Peter Risdon composed:
Cups installs /usr/local/bin/lp and /usr/local/bin/lpr and leaves /usr/bin/lp and /usr/bin/lpr in place. Back these up, symlink the cups versions into their places and try again.
If I'm not mistaken, cups does install "lpr" and "lprm" and "lpq" ..... but I believe they have the following names
lpr.cups lprm.cups lpq.cups
Not on my system:
#pkg_info | grep cups
cups-base-1.1.20.0 The Common UNIX Printing System: headers, libs, & daemons
cups-lpr-1.1.20.0 The CUPS BSD and system V compatibility binaries (lp* comma
cups-pstoraster-7.07_1 GNU Postscript interpreter for CUPS printing to non-PS prin
and
#ls /usr/local/bin/lp*
/usr/local/bin/lp /usr/local/bin/lpq /usr/local/bin/lprsetup.sh
/usr/local/bin/lpoptions /usr/local/bin/lpr /usr/local/bin/lpstat
/usr/local/bin/lppasswd /usr/local/bin/lprm /usr/local/bin/lpunlock
I haven't renamed any of these.
In the past I've renamed the original files that were there already:
mv lpr lpr-ORIG mv lprm lprm-ORIG mv lpq lpq-ORIG
Then I create the symlinks so any programs "looking" for the original names, and alot do, find the cups version through the re-direction that occurs via symlinks.
ln -s lpr.cups lpr ln -s lprm.cups lprm ln -s lpq.cups lpq
Of course this is done "inside" the directory where the files reside.
