If you install third-party print daemons such as CUPS, then I think you 
need to make sure at least that you have the third party versions of the 
"lp", "lpr", "lpq" and similar commands in your path before the ones in 
/usr/bin.  Read the READMEs.  There are also some programs out there 
(hello, dtmail? if I remember right) that hard-code the /usr/bin path, 
which can mess up printing).
