I most certainly do not use CUPS. CUPS stinks. Easy to use, my foot. Even
Apple's distribution of CUPS is hideously unuseable, overly
"complexified" (to quote the Xchagger from Star Control 3), and
like pulling teeth in all ways imagineable.

I use good old-fashioned BSD lpd-- no bloody A, B, C _OR_ D!

I will try your suggestion. Thanks!
