The problem is not inadequate software. The problem is inadequate
documentation.
Allow me to elaborate:
The documentation is usually written by the software developer.
He - as a general rule - just does not understand that the user
is operating in different ~operational~ and ~previous knowledge~
context. It is unfortunate that many a hard day's coding work
has been totally wasted by documentation which lacks
nothing but an intoductionary "Concepts and Facilities"
chapter.
CUPS is no exception.
