For a lot of reasons, that seems like the best thing for me
to do. I'm worried about what will break, though. Here's what
"rpm -e cups" shows:
/usr/bin/lpr is needed by (installed) redhat-lsb-1.3-1
cups >= 1.1.17-4 is needed by (installed) system-config-printer-0.6.98-1
cups is needed by (installed) libgnomecups-0.1.6-7
cups >= 1:1.1.17-10 is needed by (installed) gimp-print-cups-4.2.6-11
The first dependency would be fixed by installing LPRng, so it's not
a problem. The second (system-config-printer) I can live without.
What about libgnomecups? Anybody know if it really depends on cups
being installed, and what will break if libgnomecups breaks? Finally,
what about gimp-print-cups? Can I get gimp-print to work with LPRng
without recompiling it?
Thanks in advance,
Bryan
