Re: Rewrite of the Handbook Printing chapter
I think it looks great! My first thought was that it might be a bit thin on CUPS, since CUPS (I think) is the most popular way of printing. But on the other hand, since you've linked to the CUPS article I guess that's alright. And you've already added a section that allows more additions to CUPS (and other printing systems as well). So yes, I think it looks great and can't find any reasons not to commit it.

A suggestion
Hello, If I can make a suggestion, I would recommend to include instructions for setting "linux_enable" and running "kldload linux" in 7.2 about Browsers, where you talk about setting up Flash. The 'nspluginwrapper -v -a -i' will return errors like so: http://bpaste.net/show/198105/ The user will not encounter the instructions about the Linux binaries until several chapters later, and it is likely that they will look through the handbook for some particular task rather than reading it all at once, so maybe this merits a line in the Browsers area. ___ freebsd-doc@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-doc To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-doc-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
