There's something about the *idea* of CUPS that I think I disliked at one time. Isn't CUPS really bug and bloaty and horrible? It has it's own web-interface, which one doesn't seem able to disable - why can't I just configure text files? When I actually installed CUPS, it worked perfectly almost straight out of the box. Probably less effort and more reliable than printing on any other o/s I've used. Stroller.
