The technology I am referring to (as I think you very well know) is the printing system. No more, no less. Nowadays that system often relies on printer/print queue Bonjour broadcasts. Not only that, but printers have changed considerable since lprng was conceived and it is completely unable to handle them. Tex, on the other hand, is still able to handle document processing. dbus "...is redundant for typical server software" appears to deserve some explanation. > Use what works for you, whether old or new doesn't matter "old" doesn't work for modern printing systems. Otherwise, I couldn't care less what a user uses. -- Brian.
