There's 2 plugins for LPR. The first one is a Linux/LPR plugin only, which
will provide complete printer management. At this moment it only works
for printing, but it is usable.
The other one (lpdunix) is a generic lp/lpr plugin that provide the same
support as Qt printing. This plugin won't provide any printer management,
but will allow to print on any system using either lp or lpr. It can be used
as a "default" plugin. It currently supports: Linux/LPR, Solaris, HP-UX
and IRIX-6.x. I'm missing informations for LPRng and AIX systems. I
made a request on the kde-devel list, but didnt' any answer.
This generic plugin has been commited yesterday, so it needs testing on
various supported systems. But it works for Linux/LPR.

Bye.
Michael.
