[Printing-user-general] printer work with lp, but not lpr

Many thanks.  This was very helpful.

I was seeing the "waiting for printer to finish" message and was getting 
only the first page of the file printed.  Using "lp" instead of "lpr" 
solved the problem.

We've looked around for cupsys-bsd but haven't found it.  But we're 
operational without it, anyway.

Thanks for posting this so the rest of us could see it!!
