What they've suggested is that using lpr on the remote system and opening port 631 to the world is a bad idea and that it's much better to use Net::Printer. Would you agree? Net::Printer doesn't work with CUPS directly so I thought maybe I should be using something else. I'd rather not set up inetd or xinetd if I can avoid it. - Grant -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
