pdq
pdq is a direct replacement of lpr. Adding and configuring printers does not require root privilege. Jobs can be monitored through completion, job status can be checked *after* completion. Users can create custom command line options to set features such as tray selection, color mode, and print quality options. xpdq provides a graphical GTK based interface to simplify printer and option selection, and provides a wizard for printer installation.

Release Notes: Bugs were fixed in pdq_main.c, one of which prevented stdin operation on AIX due to a malloc curiosity. A cleaner distribution of drivers and interfaces was created, as well as a better configure script that allows the global printrc file to be specified in the Makefile. The default printrc location is now /etc/pdq/printrc.

I have imported the code into cvs and starting to make updates. Also I added a mailing list for discussion.
pdq works fine. By using foomatic it can support same printers as cups or lprng.
