Be fair about this: Edouard posted something controversial and angry:
so did I, when I tried to get printing working on this system.
Printing on single-user machines is a *nightmare* to set up, the docs
range from nearly useless to utterly useless, and while I did get
printing working even I don't really know what I did to fix the
problem.
And I'm no newbie: this system had been running Linux for over a year
at that point, and I've managed LANs and such for years before that.
I'm not a good enough programmer, but someone needs to generate a
simple printing package for single-user systems that doesn't require
insanely complex installation and configuration to use a Deskjet 500.
Sort of a "leafnode to inn" relationship with the various lpds we have
now.
