I too found CUPS to be easy to configure and use. Without too much
difficulty I even managed to get it to use a custom script to strip
out the extra postscript junk windows puts at the bottom of the job (I
don't know why, but that junk appears with this driver combination,
regardless of local (on the win box) or remote (via my debian box)
destination).
