Re: LPRng problem.
try to remove the lpd package first use dpkg --purge, this will get rid
of the config file(ie. /etc/init.d/lpd), and you may remove the lprng package
as well and reinstall it to make sure your system is *clean*.
don't know why you had lpd in /usr/local/bin, you should not have anything
under /usr/local if you stick with the debian package.
