What is the “official” way to install LPD without CUPS?












1














I'd like to install LPD (Line Printer Daemon) without installing a full CUPS.

LPD alone is much-much-much smaller than CUPS.

It's for Raspbian (Debian on Raspberry).



In Debian, 2 equivalent packages contain the necessary parts for LPD: rlpr and cups-bsd
Both contain only 4 executables and the related man pages. But they lack the machinery to run LPQ as a daemon when Linux boot.



Creating myself the systemd service file is easy. But is there an "official" way to run a LPQ daemon?

          I suspect you’re looking for LPRng. Installing the lprng package will give you everything you need to run an LP dæmon.

                    Refactoring coordinates for Minecraft Pi buildings written in Python

                    Image
                    0 $begingroup$ I'm fairly new to coding and I wrote this script in Python for a house with a roof in Minecraft Pi. I've found different ways to write the coordinates to make the code base shorter, but I'm wondering if it is possible for me to refactor it any further so I don't have to list each coordinate line by line. import mcpi.minecraft as minecraft import mcpi.block as block mc = minecraft.Minecraft.create() p = mc.player.getTilePos() mc.setBlocks(p.x+1, p.y, p.z+1, #Main structure starting coordinates (DO NOT ALTER) p.x+19, p.y+4, p.z+6, #Structure size/coordinates (Alters cube size) block.STONE_BRICK) mc.setBlocks(p.x+2, p.y+1, p.z+2, #Hollowing out main structure interior p.x+18, p.y+3, p.z+5, block.AIR) mc.setBlocks(p.x, p.y...
