The existing Handbook printing chapter has many weaknesses:
It does not cover simple setup well.
It does not cover current devices well.
It uses some confusing terminology and shows examples for uncommon
situations.
I've complained about these problems before, but a few months ago, Dru
asked me to do something about it.
This is a from-scratch rewrite, attempting to address the major problems
of the old version.

It adds a quick-start section, simplifies setup, vastly reduces the
section on shared printers in schools and businesses, and provides a
framework that allows the addition of other printing systems. The first
candidate for that would be CUPS.
Initial responses have been good. If there are no showstopper
complaints, I plan to commit this in the next week.
Feedback and testing welcome. Thanks!
