true.
CUPS is, theoretically, a wonderful thing, as long as CUPS has a native driver for your printer.
i believe that my previous brother (HL-1440) did, not that i didn't have trouble setting it up, but it was much more reasonable.

i'm going to have to be happy with what i have whether i like it or not.
clearly the gtk-2.0 interface works as proven by iceweasel and claws-mail, it's too bad that evince seems to be having problems.
my searches reveal that others have had similar problems with evince, so i suspect that something about the way it's supporting printing is buggy. the fact that it comes up with this "port1" printer choice which doesn't seem to exist, is not a good sign.
