ghee, et al,

with the fast approaching switch-over to CUPS as the default printing system in 
opensolaris, what is presto's future?  one of the delights of working with 
opensolaris -- at least in desktop usage -- has been the zero-effort 
configuration of nearby network printers.  when going from place to place, 
within seconds, i have new printers all configured for my use.  and the 
integration with lp is wonderful.  it never fails to impress folks familiar 
with linux or windows environments.  "you mean, your development system can do 
that, too?!"

system-config-printer is nice and all, but it doesn't compare with the presto 
print manager as far as usability is concerned.  not to mention my 
auto-magically self-configuring printers will go away.

please tell me there is a future for presto after the Great Switchover coming 
in SNV130!  will presto be extended to use CUPS, or will we have to 
'print-service -s lp' after opensolaris 2010.03 comes out? ;)
