Wouldn't it be easier to alias those commands instead of physically replacing them? In my .tcshrc I have: alias lp /usr/local/bin/lp alias lpq /usr/local/bin/lpq alias lpr /usr/local/bin/lpr alias lprm /usr/local/bin/lprm I only have /usr/local/bin/lpoptions on my system (7-STABLE), so I guess that's exclusive to CUPS, hence no need for me to alias it.
