MIS Print and QDirect together make a pretty awesome combination. They will
also do custom work to integrate to other products. They do keep at it until it
works as promised.

I'd modify that statement to be "commercial software deployed on Linux".
Most of the stuff that originated on Linux or in the spirit of open source
has usually been fairly efficient, or at least you have the opportunity to
do something about it if it is a pig.

Please do take it -- as the play says: "God bless and keep the Tsar... far
away from us!" That's a good example of an inefficient and poorly
application on ANY platform. Funny thing, the CMS version wasn't nearly such
a pig...but I digress.

Interesting -- pointer? What does it do that CUPS doesn't do natively?
