What is the “official” way to install LPD without CUPS?












2














I'd like to install LPD (Line Printer Daemon) without installing a full CUPS.

LPD alone is much-much-much smaller than CUPS.

It's for Raspbian (Debian on Raspberry).



In Debian, 2 equivalent packages contain the necessary parts for LPD: rlpr and cups-bsd
Both contain only 4 executables and the related man pages. But they lack the machinery to run LPQ as a daemon when Linux boot.



Creating myself the systemd service file is easy. But is there an "official" way to run a LPQ daemon?

          I suspect you’re looking for LPRng. Installing the lprng package will give you everything you need to run an LP dæmon.

Question : What is the origin of the phrase "under your belt"? A google search revealed some webpages (e.g. [1]) that assert its origin is related to consumption of food -- once a meal has been eaten, it's under your belt (which is a relief). However, with such websites, I have no way to determine fact from "random guy on the internet making stuff up". etymology idioms ...
