Unfortunately the default is to disable LPR access so i was not able to print neither locally neither using samba.
Yes, because some people consider the old BSD spooler as problematic. Enabling it simply requires answering YES to the debconf question when installing cupsys-bsd or issuing a "dpkg-reconfigure cupsys-bsd" to answer YES afterwards. Anyhow, running both lpr and cups on the same host is generally a bad idea. If you run cups, but still require traditional BSD printing services, installing and enabling cupsys-bsd with cups is a much better alternative.
