    <title>Introduction to LPRng</title>

    <para>The <application>LPRng</application> package contains an enhanced,
    extended and portable implementation of the Berkeley Line PRinter (LPR)
    print spooler. This is useful for queuing print jobs.</para>

    <para>There may be a more recent release available from the
    <application>LPRng</application> home page. You can check
    <ulink url="http://sourceforge.net/projects/lprng"/> and probably use the
    existing BLFS instructions. Note that versions other than the one shown
    in the download URLs have not been tested in a BLFS environment.</para>
