I must be among the lucky or blessed (take your pick). Since I
switched to CUPS and Gutenprint a couple of years back my printing
qulaity has never been higher (the combination blows away the quality
of Windows XP drivers for my old printers). CUPS has been solid for me
and I haven't seemed to experience the problems of others even though I
track Sid. I print to a network attached printer from my desktop and
to it and several locally attached printers on my laptop.
I'm not a CUPS fan-boy, but I don't miss lprng a bit.
