I'm not a huge fan of CUPS, but at this point it's the best of a bad
lot. I find the queueing useful, since I often print documents long
enough that I don't want to wait.
More importantly, CUPS, for me at least, seems to be quite slow.
There's a lng pause after I queue something for

Hi.
Thanks for this information.
I also recommend LSI 9200-8E or new 9205-8E with the IT firmware based on
past experience
Do you known if the LSI-9205-8E HBA or the LSI-9202-16E HBA work under FreBSD
9.0 ?
Best regards.
Regards.

Of course Unix has had functional printing; the issue is mostly dumb printers

You've just made me a happy, happy user. I always wondered what it would
take to get rid of CUPS, and today I've done it. Finally my print jobs are
instantaneous here at work instead of being a mystery. Can't wait to go
home and do the same with my personal laser.
