I am very glad to have the printer configuration module as I do not want to
configure CUPS manually.
Yes you have a point there.
OSX also uses CUPS, but the printer configuration is a small settings on
the desktop and not a system wide configuration that you need first that
it exists.
I still wonder, if there is a printer database, why it is not possible
to just plug the printer, have some rule match the id, pick the right
ppd, adjust/restart cups, everything automatically (basically what
Windows does if you throw the vendor CDs to the trash first).
