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.

Install LPRng by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib/lprng \ --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-shared && make
Now, as the root user:
make install install -v -d -m755 /usr/share/doc/lprng-3.8.28 && cp -v -R DOCS/* PrintingCookbook \ /usr/share/doc/lprng-3.8.28
There is no generic printcap for all printers. A sample printcap is loaded into the /etc directory which can be of some help. Information is also available at http://www.lprng.org, http://www.linuxprinting.org and the documentation installed in /usr/share/doc/lprng-3.8.28.
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 blfs-bootscripts-6.1 package (as the root user):
make install-lprng
You may also want to remove the lpd script that was installed in /etc/rc.d/init.d.
