Package: rlpr (2.05-5 and others)

A utility for lpd printing without using /etc/printcap

Rlpr makes it possible (or at the very least, easier), to print files on remote sites to your local printer, and vice versa. The rlpr package includes BSD-compatible replacements for 'lpr', 'lpq', and 'lprm', whose functionality is a superset of their BSD counterparts. In other words, with the rlpr package, you can do everything you can do with the BSD printing commands, and more. The programs contained within the rlpr package are all GPL'd, and are more lightweight, cleaner and more secure than their BSD counterparts.
