I did 'apt-get install cupsys' and adding a printer became a simple process. On the subject of printing: which printing system provides me the most flexibility? CUPS is the easiest to configure and use. The lpr option allowed me to set the output to greyscale (perfect since I mostly print text) and draftmode. Printing from the console allows me to specify page headers and other information. Is there a way to bring all those options into CUPS? Thanks. Ed
