Why would system-config-printer need pirut?
I have no idea.

Do I need system-config-printer?
Only if you want to manage printer settings in an application
(otherwise there's only CUPS config files and/or the HTTP interface at
localhost:631).


System-config-printer is the older RedHat GUI printer configurator.
My experience has been that it does not coexist nicely with CUPS, and
you shouldn't try to use both of them on the same system.

Sounds authoritative enuf for me.
# yum -y remove pirut

Thanks Carl.

Anybody know of a link where I can find all the obscure (and not-so-obscure) command names explained? A nice bonus would be if the explanations would be as helpful as Carl was here and tell me ~"you probably don't need this one anymore if you have thus-and-such which essentially replaces it"~.
