PLEASE!!! It's much more complicated than that (which is why alternatives won't work either) because you have to have the right set of printer clients working with the right daemon.
For that reason both systems conflict with each other, because not doing that just causes a horrible mess. So one uninstalling the other is what you want to happen. What the problem is that the cups package is being installed and you're not installing it. That must be a dependency doing that and possibly it shouldn't be. The main thing is, it's not a lprng bug. - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ http://www.enc.com.au/ csmall at : enc.com.au Debian GNU/Linux http://www.debian.org/ csmall at : debian.org GPG fingerprint: 1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
