I know some have it working, but after weeks of playing I have found the 7.2
printing to be quite broken, at least with my hp 670...
I went back to lpd for printing, which meant changing many of the symbolic
links in the /etc/alternatives directory and using something like linuxconf
to configure the printer rather than cups type tools.
It now works, tho kmail won't print, which is a pain. But at least most other
apps work as they should...
Anyone know How to get kmail printing with lpd :-)
