%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ LPRng The LPRng package contains an enhanced, extended and portable implementation of the Berkeley Line PRinter (LPR) print spooler. This is useful for queuing print jobs.

A sample printcap is loaded into the /etc directory which can be of some help. Information is also available at , and the documentation installed in /usr/share/doc/lprng-&LPRng-version;. The init script installed by LPRng is not consistent with other BLFS scripts; therefore, install the /etc/rc.d/init.d/lprng init script included in the package (as the root user): lprng make install-lprng You may also want to remove the lpd script that was installed in /etc/rc.d/init.d.
