CUPS can be a little confusing to pick up, but it is very powerful, supports lots of printers, has a web interface, and can masquerade as regular lpr/LPRng.

The config files are in /etc/cups. ------------------------------------------------------------------- DDDD David Kramer http://thekramers.net DK KD DKK D Science without religion is lame, DK KD religion without science is blind.
