Now that I'll be upgrading my lan's server to sarge, I plan also
to install apt-cacher on it, so my other machines won't have to do
as much long-haul net traffic.

Until recently, sarge's abiword wouldn't print on my hetworked Brother

fixed that. But now it persists in printing everything in a too-large

I installed the CUPS drivers for a Brother network printer on a Debian
machine the other week, and it worked *perfectly* using the driver for
the HL-1670N, even though the printer is an HL-1870N.
Now I am trying to install the same CUPS drivers on another Debian machine
on the same LAN, and CUPS w

I'm about to upgrade my woody system to eather testing or unstable
(probably unstable, because I gather that temporarily broken package
dependencies don'e cause as much mass deletion and restoration of
entire suites of packages there) Please correct me if I am wrong on
any of these details.

I'm running a debian woody server, using exim (I believe -- actually,
I have whatever Debian installs as default, which I believe is
exim), and I have peen persuaded that I should change over to imap.
