Printer: Minolta C351 (basically a networked PS-Printer also capable of color) My requirements: Print from mutt (mail), print text files, print PS-files with the ability to print duplex and 2-up both in color and b/w. Should I go for the standard vanilla FreeBSD lpr that comes with the system or use anything else? If "anything else" - what (CUPS,...?) Please note that I want to print both from gnome (X-win) as well as via the commadline. Thanks in advance for any clue, -ewald
