And what CUPS (Common UniX Print System) has to do with windows, I can't imagine. (It does share quite a bit with MacOS and Apple does own a lot of the code.) Unless you want to print to a very dumb printer, CUPS is almost certainly the simplest choice...vastly simpler than plain old lpd(8) and old, unmanageable printcaps(5) files. But it's your life and your system. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com
