[Scheme Loh <schemebot@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a video graphics business and we have been
using SuSE in multiple computers as a firewall,
fileserver, webserver, coldfusion server, database
server and even as a print server, but after tonight,
print server is gone from the list of duties I will
ask SuSE to perform for me. I will not waste another
minute troubleshooting printing in SuSE. 

After trying to use SuSE 8.0 for a simple w2k and
MacOSX file/printer server, I'm done with lpr, I'm
done with CUPS, I'm done printing monochrome,
greyscale or postscript on Linux. I did many clean
installs, using the default settings and trying CUPS.
Mixed results everytime.

I even have a HP6MP, supposedly an ideal printer for
postscript printing under Linux but the best I ever
got in over two years of literal pain, was everything
prints fine from my w2k computers, but my Macs can't
print .pdf or Illustrator files, also essentially
postscript files. I lived in fear of postscript files
gone mad emptying my paper try with gibberish
printout, and tonight I'm free of that fear.

It's a defeat to be sure, but for now, I'm just plain
relieved to be be done with it.
