I agree absolutely.
One of my biggest problems is configuring /etc/printcap remotely. As a
config file /etc/printcap is a bloody disaster. So, use printtool I hear
you say; but I don't run X over the Internet for security and performance
reasons.
When is someone going to come up with a simple ncurses equivalent of
printtool?
