[Buildroot] Help lpr and general package advice

[John X]

Hi,

 

I'm relatively new to buildroot, so please bear with me, I've just created a
build, which boots and provides me with most of the functionality I need,
however, I've just run an application and I've received a message that it
cannot find lpr

 

I've checked and as far as I can see it's in the busybox distro, 

 

I've done a make menuconfig and gone through the options, but cannot see
where I can select the option so lpr is in my build, so I'm guessing its
part of a larger package.

 

Where do I look to see what packages contain ?

 

Is there anywhere on the website that is searchable, that shows what's where
so I could search for individual commands and that would show where I enable
it in the menuconfig?

 

Thanks in advance

John

A lightweight implementation of lpr is available in Busybox, but is not
enabled in the default Busybox configuration that Buildroot contains.

Do:

	make busybox-menuconfig

And then in "Print utilities", enable lpr.
