Maybe the description could be rewritten :
Description: Easy to setup printing system
WvPrint is a plug-and-play printing system for Unix, which is designed
towards intuitivity. The software tries to autodetect and configure the
printer as soon as it is plugged.


Furthermore, what are the advantages of this software over e.g. CUPS,
which can trivially setup almost any printer in a matter of seconds ?
This is a real question, as I couldn't gather more information on the
website than a DJB-ish "other software are pieces of crap, use ours".
