I hope I didn't come across as a troll, I was just venting when anyone
tries to complain about Ubuntu when they were the ones screaming about
how it's the only Linux they'll use, or anything else is not "easy"
enough. I have really good luck with openSUSE, Red Hat/CentOS/Scientific
Linux/Oracle Linux as well as Solaris and OpenIndiana.
Best regards...

Creating a print queue external to CUPS really was the point of my

depending on how they do or do not work) such as CUPS or the ever
popular NetworkManager.
Now off to RTFM the lpadmin man page.
