I can not speak to how complicated (or not) that it is to develop CUPS, or for the Debian CUPS Maintainers to package and maintain it. Setting up print queues can be a bit of a hassle if (like me) you don't do it often, but once you get it created, it's done. It took me an evening, 2 years ago, and haven't touched it since then. So, I *can* and *do* unequivocally affirm that *using* CUPS is an simple as rolling off a log. - -- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson LA USA "Kittens give Morbo gas.
