Or go to lpr.
I am not quite sure why but lpr is broken now as well.
In this case I think it moves the data through CUPS
but I am not really sure.
I guess I oculd look at it more closely.

Once upon a time, with just man pages as a reference, I managed to
configure lpr (or whatever they call the bsd-style print service)
to providing local and network printing.
A short while later, we handed over system administration to someone
else, who decided that lpr was obsolete and CUPS was the future, so
he "upgraded" to CUPS.
Network printing to that box never worked after that, despite it
being a routine item put on his plate.
The rest of the team resorted to using samba and used an MS box and
the (USB) inkjet printer there, instead of the laser printer off of
the Linux box.
(I made do with a workaround -- print to file as postscript, copy the
postscript file to the server with scp, then print the file with ssh.)

CUPS seems to work for some people, but it doesn't seem worth the trouble.
