I'm trying to print from my remote server to my local printer. It's working great via CUPS, but I've been warned that this is not a good idea and that I should be using Net::Printer instead. Net::Printer docs say:
Net::Printer, by itself, does not speak to printers running the CUPS protocol. In order to provide support for legacy clients, most modern CUPS distributions include the cups-lpd mini-server which can be set up to run out of either inetd or xinetd depending on preference. You will need to set up this functionality in order to use Net::Printer with a CUPS server. I thought CUPS was *the* way to print on Linux. Is there another solution that would work better with Net::Printer? - Grant -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
