A more proactive action would be to file bug reports against the PPD provided with CUPS or Guttenprint for your particular printer.

I've been using LPRng for over a decade on both our home and office LANs (including for printing between LANs across a VPN). Over 99% of our printing is via lpr. The only reason why I've installed CUPS is that the latest versions of many GUI applications seem to print a bit quicker with it. Due to the volume of print jobs we generate, we have the print job banner pages disabled. It is not possible to disable these banner pages in CUPS. Couple this with the fact that the lpr interface is deprecated by CUPS, and with the fact that CUPS actually degrades the print quality of jobs sent to my laser printer, I don't see myself switching entirely to CUPS. -- Steve Kostecke Public Key at gopher://kostecke.net or `finger st...@kostecke.net` -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Returning to this issue, now that Lenny is released, I really have to ask: Why are you running LPRng along with CUPS on the same host? What feature does LPRng provide that CUPS lacks?
