I don't use cups, at least I try not to use cups. For me, lpd works fine, even for network printing.
However, my current unstable configuration was built on top of a Knoppix 3.3 install. Since Knoppix is
KDE-centric, and uses CUPS out of the box, I have been flummoxed how to purge the printing setup of cups.
Printing has been screwed up on this very machine---when I print one page from emacs ('lpr-region' or
'lpr-buffer') three pages are printed, and sometimes blank pages are ejected. So apparently my efforts to
purge the system of CUPS has failed. There are a number of troublesome dependencies.
Perhaps that is the tree, up which I should bark.
Thanks for the clarification. I will try to follow up if I figure out what gives.
Hi Alan, if you want to use gnumeric without cups (or you want gnumeric to ignore any remnants of a cups installation) compile it with --without cups or remove the content of /usr/[local/]lib/libgnomeprint/*/modules/ If those libraries (libgnomeprintcups.*) are not available, gnumeric will not be able to access cups and simply use lpr.
