:I installed cups, which has its own lpr program, and deleted the lpr that is
:in world. If I rebuild world, how do I tell it not to install lpr? I know I
:did this for sendmail, but I forgot where the configuration is.

I'm running cups on my workstation too, talking to a Canon printer.
Instead of disabling lpr I just reworked the PATH environment variable
to put /usr/pkg/bin before /usr/bin.
Another trick I use if the above is too sneaky is to put /usr/local/bin
first in the PATH and create a script called lpr to exec the the one
from /usr/pkg/bin.

If we really wanted to make things easy we could make /usr/bin/lpr
recognize an environment variable to tell it to forward to another
lpr (aka /usr/pkg/bin/lpr).. though we'd have to be careful since
/usr/bin/lpr is suid and sgid. Maybe a simple 'LPR_USE_PKGSRC'
env variable that could be set to '1'.
