Part of the troubles I had with CUPS was with the Linux USB support. The latter is broken on my hardware, so the former can't work properly. I am however becoming more and more disappointed by CUPS. If a printer faults it can't be restarted unless one logs into cups with a web browser as root - blerrrgh. Recently I noticed that killing a print job doesn't kill the child process which sends data to the printer, resulting in a waste of paper, ink, and time. The problem "is known but can't be fixed". A print spooler which can't kill print jobs? Hahahhaaa... ROTFL. What a sh*t piece of software. And easysoft is selling that to their customers?? If only lprng had options...
