Hate to be a complainer, but stuff that has worked well for 20 years is now 
broken again.   This is the second time in less than a year.

The script searches my data base and prints labels for parts in the inventory 
is broken again.  It uses awk to search the data base and prints the labels 
using lpr with a bunch of options.   In the last few weeks "lpr" has changed 
and now pops up a GUI for a printer - prints a bunch of garbage to my screen 
and Pops a GUI - it also pick up the printer margins and host of other crap 
that I can't change from the GUI.   As a result the labels are off set by 1/2 
inch and now run over the end of the page. 
Looked on the internet and asked the question and there is no real answers - a 
bunch of dumb replys.
On is a vector to the cups manual - no way to search it.   Can't spend a week 
reading all of it.

I wish the people tinkering with the print stuff would quit working on stuff 
that has worked a long time.   A new rule is that "first do no harm".  Its ok 
to add new but don't clobber the stuff we depend on.

Does anyone have any idea of how to turn this stuff off or get back the 
real "lpr" utility.

So far I have a lot of time invested in this - by the way this is Sunday 
Afternoon.   That should tell you the urgency of the problem.  Monday we have 
a lot of stuff to ship - even if I have spend all night hand printing the 
labels. 

Thank You
