I like CUPS because it was a one-package deal (as opposed to trying to
figure out the control flow of a whole bunch of other programs) yet is
still modular and easy to work with. It comes with many drivers (most
are in separate packages like the -gimpprint one or the -foomatic
one). It also supports all the protocols I've heard of (lpd,
parallel, serial, HP JetDirect, ipp, samba).
