NAME

     chprnsys - switch the current print subsystem to CUPS or LP

SYNOPSIS

     chprnsys [ cups | lp ]

DESCRIPTION

     The chprnsys command performs  all  the  tasks  required  to
     switch  between  the  Common UNIX Print Subsystem (CUPS) and
     the UNIX System V LP Subsystem (LP).  If  no  arguments  are
     supplied,  chprnsys  reports the currently active print sub-
     system, as in this example:

          # chprnsys
          UX:chprnsys: INFO: lp is the active print system.

     You must be logged in as root to  change  the  active  print
     susbsystem.

     When switching print subsystems, chprnsys stops the  current
     print service, makes a copy of the existing print configura-
     tion, configures the new print  service,  and  modifies  the
     manual  pages to display the appropriate documentation.  The
     new print service is then started.

ARGUMENTS

     cups      Switches to the CUPS print subsystem.

     lp        Switches to the LP print subsystem.

WARNINGS

     In  general,  printing  related  commands  affect  only  the
     currently  active print subsystem.  Note, however, that when
     CUPS is the active print subsystem, some utilities  used  by
     the  LP  subsystem  are  still  available  (for example, the
     lpfilter command).  Executing these LP commands  while  CUPS
     is active has no effect on CUPS.

SEE ALSO

     Online guides for the currently active print  subsystem  are
     available  at http://localhost:8458/en/Navpages/PRhome.html.
     If CUPS is active, you can also  view  the  CUPS  guides  at
     http://localhost:631/help.   The man(1) command will display
     the appropriate manual pages for the currently enabled print
     subsystem.
