On my test system I'm defaulting to "cups"; printing on any
flavor of *nix has always been painful ... which is why I
stick with plain ol' lpr::: it Just-Works{tm}. So on my
printserver and everywhere else I have lpr/lpd going.
Under Gnome on my test platform I've tried to get things to
print via my printsrver. I see that Gnome thinks things are
printing. Not. Do any of you print wizards know what I'm
missing?
thanks for any clues,
gary
PS: 5 gold stars for anybody who can 'splain why cups exists.
