I'm setting up a couple printers on a new machine with the intent on
allowing remote hosts to print to these printers. One printer is a
serial label printer and the other is likely going to be a laser or inkjet.
Both of them are going to need some kind of direct access given that
some of the clients will use their own drivers. So which system do I
use now? I remember most of my lpr setup process (though it has been a
while) but almost everything else around keeps referencing CUPS.
Thoughts?
PS: This is the first install I've done on a multi-head system that
went so smoothly. X just worked (with nvidia drivers), it was quite
pleasant compared to the old incantations.
