Oh, boy, finally, you save my day! Thanks a lot!
Yes, my lpq is installed by default from the lpr package -- "BSD lpr/lpd
line printer spooling system". The lpr/lpq is required, can't be removed,
and strangely, can't be used. hmm, that's confusing enough for a debian
newbie like me. :-)
Yes, installing the cupsys-bsd package solve the problem.
Thanks again.
