[ale] Lynx and ssh is kinda cool

[James P. Kinney III]

Once you get the hang of what to spell out on the command line to print
exactly the way you want, you can save those parameters in cups with a
new printer name (hp, hp-duplex, hp-photo, hp-transparency, etc). Then
you just lp -d printer_name postscript_file.ps! I resisted the change to
cups earlier. It was well worth the effort to make the switch.

I just picked up a new HP Business Inkjet 1100. They have the built-in
two sided print and a jet-direct module and dual paper trays ($300
Office Depot). And they use all the same ink and heads I had already
bought for the one (HP Business Inkjet 2200) that got clobbered in my
lightning storm. So I have multiple printers to choose from (OpenOffice
is _very_ happy), and my kids only get the cheap paper in duplex and
draft mode since they just the hit the print button every 5 minutes
anyway (paperless office my a**!)

The lpadmin command line was a little confusing, so decided to install Apache for the web-based CUPS admin tools. Still do not want to install X (very little memory in the PC) - so used Lynx as my web browser.
