Implying that there are circumstances where CUPS will produce valid output,

Do we actually need a default print service at all? Mail is much more

Well, lprng isn't lpr... but if there are clienty things you want,
you could probably use lprng's clients with CUPS's lpr server.

Terribly sorry about this. It's only gnome-cups-icon which leaks like

identical).

I believe it would be a good idea if the default print system in the
next release of Debian (Sarge) is changed to CUPS. CUPS is a more
complete, more userfriendly and RFC complient printing system.
