which cups to install??


i was going to install cups for printing, but i realized there's 3 different versions of cups, and I didn't know which to use:

cups-base-1.1.19.0
The Common UNIX Printing System: headers, libs, & daemons

cups-lpr-1.1.19.0
The CUPS BSD and system V compatibility binaries (lp* commands)

cups-1.1.19.0
The Common UNIX Printing System: Metaport to install complete system


they are all the same (right?) ...

You want to install the last one... it will automatically install the other two and anything else you might need.

That is what a metaport does.
