1. because lpr/lpd and magicfilter work perfectly for me.
Other than the minor detail of not printing from your web browser. How is this working perfectly?
2. because CUPS offers no advantage for me.
Other than the dubious advantage of actually working?
3. because when I did use it in the past my output was slightly worse
than with my existing setup.
This is subjective so I can't speak to it.
4. because, in the light of the above, using it will involve me in a
fair amount of work for no clear benefit and possibly a worse output.
Other than the murky benefit of actually being able to print documents from Firefox 3, the original complaint you posted about? I'm not trying to be an ass here, but the reasons you give don't make any sense. If "resistance to change" is the reason, I can understand that, but "because what I have works perfectly" isn't a reason -- it obviously *does not* work perfectly for you.
