Hi-

I'm setting up printing on my laptop (Debian) and wondering if it matters 
which printing system I install. Is there any major difference between CUPS 
and lpr, and are there any compatibility issues between them? I realize that 
CUPS is newer, but lpr seems to be default for most applications and tools 
such as printtool. Please advise... thanks.

Doug
