I concur. I never have had satisfactory print quality on my agin
Lexmark 4039-10R with lpr/lprng with magicfilter/apsfilter. I started
playing with CUPS a month or so back and once I installed libgimpprint
and used their ljet3 driver in CUPS I got the best output from that
printer I have seen yet.
I really like the Web style admin interface even if it is a bit quirky
the first time through (like all interfaces it seems). Not having to
edit some obxcure text file suits me fine. I'm happily using a program
that was too complicated for even ESR to setup. ;-)
