Are there plans to make CUPS the Solaris 11 default printer management? The user interface to this is very simple and is the only printing system I found to be both (1) available on Linux & Solaris X86 and (2) capable of properly communicating with any printer I have gotten. By default Solaris 11 ships with a seamingly unstopable (without preventing GDM from starting....) and unconfigurable IPP Listener. see "http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/printing/faq/ipp-listener.html"; Prior to IPP Listener, I was able to go to "http://localhost:631"; to conduct complete printer management with CUPS. Now this same page displays useless information about IPP and then forwards me to a IPP standards site. To get around this, I had to install CUPS from one of the non-Solaris DVDs and then place CUPS lp before /usr/bin/lp to get printing to work. Then, "http://localhost:631"; is still useless, but "http://localhost:631/printers"; can be used to manage the printers with CUPS. How is one to punt IPP Listener off the box without preventing GDM from starting? Are there any plans to ship CUPS instead of IPP Listener on Solaris 11 DVDs? Where do I file the bug?
