Creating a print queue external to CUPS really was the point of my
gripe, Alex. Ah how we have grown stale by using tools (or trolls
depending on how they do or do not work) such as CUPS or the ever
popular NetworkManager.

I remember when I had a dot matrix printer and using it under Linux
(think Slackware in the end of the 90s), CUPS wasn't around, and I just
created a raw lpr queue. The printer was an Epson 9-pin dot matrix printer.
Is that no longer possible?
