>Regarding LPRng on openSUSE:
>Some time ago (in Nov 2007) I asked on our opensuse and
>opensuse-de lists to find out if LPRng is still used, see
>http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2007-11/msg01723.html
>and
>http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-de/2007-11/msg00967.html
>There was no response at all on the opensuse list.
>There were only 5 people who respond on opensuse-de
>but none of them wrote that LPRng is indispensable
>(i.e. that they could not switch to CUPS at all).
