Nice to see others using this combination of programs. I sincerely
think that magicfilter is underrated. It simply works in the usual
Unix tradition.
To be honest, I have not looked much into CUPS for the simple reason
that:
1 - lprng and magicfilter work superbly well for printing my LaTeX
texts;
2 - my iBook (with MacOS X, which uses CUPS) doesn't match the same
quality as the PCL3 driver present in gs-esp (for my HP Deskjet
840C),
I think that I will be keeping both magicfilter and lprng as the
printing system on my computers, even though I see some people raving
about how easy configuration with CUPS is.
Perhaps I'm missing something here that others see?
Cheers, Rogério.
