It's always a satisfying feeling when you can solve your own 
problems with a little gray cells and google.

After configuring CUPS for my lpj1100 (lo and behold, redhat even 
has the PPD file, so I didn't have to resort to ljet4), I could 
print a test page, but nothing woud work directed to lpr.  The  
gray cells finally kicked in, kicked in and a search on 
google confirmed that I needed to use lpr-cups, lpq-cups, 
lprm-cups, and lpc-cups.

A little more research revealed that both redhat and gentoo have 
lpr.cups, etc., instead of the names I remembered and google 
documented.  So, a few aliases later and I was in 
business.

Just for grins, does anyone remember when the names changed to 
protect the innocent?
