Indeed. ;)

I'm relatively fresh with Linux and after rummaging through the endless readmes, I'm happy I figured that one out...

No, not at all. I was more concerned about damaging everything else I have so painstakingly installed over the past month. Maybe I'm overprotective... :)

Braveness? Well, with all I know about Linux, this would be like giving a "Ferrari with some handling problems" to someone, who just got a licence. ;)

Last night I installed CUPS on my system at home, proceeded to install it on the system here at work - I don't think I'll ever miss lpr and apsfilter.

Remote administration, all printer drivers, support for paper handling, and, for our non-ipp capable printservers - it even lets me use server/queue calls. What more could a newbie want?

Cheers,

Volker
