The last time I tried to use CUPS, I found it to be so user friendly that I couldn't get it to do anything useful. Very pretty, less functional; and the documentation was entirely inadequate. On the other hand, while lprng was anything but user-friendly, it was simple and well-documented. Much more important to have something that works before you go making it user-friendly! -- Daniel Jacobowitz MontaVista Software Debian GNU/Linux Developer
