around 1998 you could already print with other tools than lpr or lprng.
When I listen to you guys I have a respect, but you must understand that
time goes on - this is like advertising Mercedes Benz from 1930 and telling
me how cool this car was ... well might be, might be, but no one needs this
anymore - except the museum.

So I just wanted to make a joke :)

In fact if you want to read such posts more often you should subscribe to
RPi mailing list comp.sys.raspberry-pi. It's mostly like this - very little
epistemological benefit for the reader, but amusing.
