What kind of security problems does CUPS have. I tried buying CUPS CD
to install newest version a few months ago but it had problems with
ghostscript so I bought a book with RH7.3 to get a working copy. Didn't
really want to upgrade to 8.0 I was running 7.2 CUPS has solved many
irritations and problems I had with LPRng like losing jobs if the
printer was off CUPS is so persistent someone sent a job to the
wrong printer and turned it off when I turned it on 2 weeks later
it printed. It also makes printing to a raw queue a breeze.
