I don't expect everything to be available via a GUI, but I do expect that there is a decent printer configuration tool; that SUN get with the programme, lynch that POS that is lp, and replace it with something from the 21st century, namely CUPS coupled with GIMP-Print and friends. Geeze, when I see the deficiencies in Solaris 10, I am tempted to write a thesis on 'why Solaris sucks' - it seem that out of the 30,000 people employed at SUN, there isn't even *ONE* person with a *CLUE* about designing and operating system that is pleasent to use!
