last friday: apt-get install cupsys cupsys-client i then spent one hour in the web admin, and then i was printing to a USB printer shared on a WinME box. i had never seen or used CUPS before.
im not criticizing anyone for being unable to set up CUPS (hell, iv only done it once, so i dont really know jack about it), but what went right for me that goes so wrong for everyone else??
One thing i will complain about are PPD files. i could find absolutely no documentation on how to _use_ a PPD file for the printer. i got lucky when i put in the path to the file in the LOCATION box in setup just for kicks and it worked. that would be a very nice thing to label.
