I am happy with my setup in CUPS, that is not the issue. the Gutenprint
printer driver is the best I have found for my Epson R380 printer. My issue
is with the lpr.log file:
# more lpr.log
Nov 21 05:42:29 paulandcilla lpd[11629]: /dev/lp0: No such file or directory
Nov 21 05:43:30 paulandcilla lpd[11702]: /dev/lp0: No such file or directory
this is from lpd, not CUPS ( I think ??) and I am not sure what it means or
how to get rid of it. Should I not have lpr installed? do I need it?
# dpkg --list lpr

if I try to remove it, it also wants to remove:
