Hm... Can you not try to print to file (postscript, pdf) and then use lpr (which will filter it through ghostscript) to print? Yes, it's an extra step but going through the extra steps of finding a new "office suite" that fits you and your needs may not be worth it. Besides, you can always print extra copies, do fine tuning of the printing (like printing duplex, two pages or more on the same page etc.) this way. I do agree with you that CUPS is perhaps a bit convoluted, difficult to understand (when it comes to configuration) etc. When "it" (CUPS) "feels" like not playing, then there can be quite a few hours of frustration and cursing before getting it to work... but it works for me, currently;I have a very nice duplex laser printer from Kyocera with Linux support out of the box which helps... :-) Best regards Peter K
