No, it deserves more ranting. Can't Usually Print Stuff has very detailed documentation to the point where you have to read for two hours to do what is done in three minutes in MS, and done more poorly by CUPS. Even uebergeek Eric Stewart Raymond wrote about his disgust with it. What frightens me is that I'm used to it now.

I found the big problem for me in Linux to Linux (or *nix to *nix) was not setting the ServerName in clients.conf. - -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Buffy: I don't play well with others. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFBsOwu+lTVdes0Z9YRAqBVAJ9OSlETKrTAMBDF+RMN7rW6jrxX1ACfYz3Q afNFNSIsapuOhJkEtN83F6I= =pU8q -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------ Yahoo!
