It was back in January 2013 when I bought a Pi, downloaded a prebuilt
image, compiled print/cups-base, and started using it as a print
server.  Unfortunately, a bug (which Mr Selasky fixed for me) kept it
from talking to my Lexmark printer (though my HP printer worked with
no problem).  It was a long time before I was able to build a custom
image, by which time we had EABI, clang, etc.; and to this day I still
haven't been able to build a working print server.         -- George
