It looks like lpr is pointing to lprng on my system.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# v /usr/bin/lpr
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 9 2007-04-02 12:29 /usr/bin/lpr -> lpr-lprng*

So do I need to uninstall lprng or can I just change the link to point
to lpr-cups?

Thanks,

Russ

No such package on Slack/390.  There's cups, and lprng, and that's it.
If lprng was installed on top of cups, that could cause a similar issue.
Only one of the two should be installed, not ever both of them.  One way
to tell is:
# v /usr/bin/lpr
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 8 2005-01-27 15:49 /usr/bin/lpr -> lpr-cups
