In fact this is one of my main issues with cups. Cups is the ONLY package on my computer that requires any gui action at all. It is anti linux! I need to log in to an apache server on localhost:631 to choose the driver for my (usb) connected printer and answer stupid questions. This is really annoying to me. I do everything else on the command line. I can't find any decent documentation to use any simple file editing to control this!!! I know what to edit in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to run the server but nothing about choosing the driver and installing it for a printer connected directly to the machine __without__ using the web interface. If you know how to that would be helpful. I am willing to have it reinstall the printer hourly or even every 5 minutes if necessary via cron :).
