> Hi,
> I'm packaging the Printer Configuration Tool (default printer config
> tool on RedHat/Fedora systems) for Debian. This aplication allows users
> to configure printers without needing to know if they're running CUPS,
> LPRng or whatever. To do that, the RedHat/Fedora team is using the
> alternatives system created by Debian and already used by us for
> browsers, terminals, editors, etc.
> 
> So, here goes my suggestion and a request: what do you think of using
> the alternatives system for printing?
> 
> That would ease porting this application to run on Debian. This
> application would add a great facility for our users since it is
> impossible to know what command must be used to print a document on a
> Debian system.
> 
> My suggestion to the name of this alternative is "print" which should
> point to the command used to print (ex.: /usr/bin/lpr)
