Yesterday, I went through the usual hell of working with CUPS. I
eventually got it to work, although I'm not convinced I did it the right
way. Today, while skimming Slashdot, I came across these links to
commentaries by Eric Raymond about his similar experience with CUPS in
which he says that we will have to make software much more discoverable
and transparent if we want it to be widely used.
