if apsfilter/magicfilter is easier then go for it. in my experience
cups is far easier to configure then any other printing system i've
used(provided, of course drivers are available for your printer in the
cups that comes with debian, if it is not then..it can become
VERY complicated to setup).
i use cups on all my client machines, which spool to a lpd running
cups on my print server. I suppose I could print directly via ipp
or whatever but spooling to lpd is easy too....
