I do not believe we have started. I was going to look at it this
morning, but seeing as how you can build packages too, go for it if
you have time. That way we can start the -proposed clock ticking now.
I'm thinking that we want the following functionality:
lpq -Pceres -> cups-lpq -h print-this.mit.edu -Pceres
lprm -Pceres 123 -> cups-lprm -h print-this.mit.edu -Pceres 123
I suspect that implenting "lprm -Pceres" and having it remove the
user's first job will be hard, so that should may print an error
saying "lprm now requires a job number".
There's the option of defaulting to --cups (it currently defaults to --
lprng), or the option of simply querying Hesiod each time and
comparing the print server with a list of known cups servers and known
lprng servers. Additionally, it appears that Hesiod entries for cups
printers don't have the "auth=kerberos5" clause that lprng ones used
to have, so maybe we can conditionalize on that.
