CUPS BSD and system V print compatibility system is installed. This port installs binaries (lpr, lpc, etc) which have the same names as binaries in /usr/bin and /usr/sbin. Assuming you installed this port to use cups fully, the minimum you need to do is make sure all users PATH variable has %%PREFIX%%/bin before /usr/bin. As this is not always easy to do, a you may consider removing the FreeBSD printing system completely. To do this, remove the binaries and man pages listed below, and set NO_LPR=true in your /etc/make.conf. This will prevent future buildworlds from re-installing the binaries, but will not prevent them from getting re-installed during a binary upgrade. The relevant files for the FreeBSD printing system are: (with wildcards to make it easier) /usr/bin/lp* /usr/sbin/lpc /usr/sbin/lpd /usr/share/man/cat*/lp* /usr/share/man/man1/lp.* /usr/share/man/man1/lp[a-s,u-z]*
