Is there someone out there that can explain the relationship between CUPS,
Gimp-Print, Turbo Print, etc.? I am using SuSE 7.3 Pro and still trying to
get my new Epson Stylus C80 to work. I think that somewhere, I am lacking
some information to understand how printing works under SuSE. I need to
understand why you need both CUPS and Gimp-Print, why Turbo Print requires
Ghostscript, etc. Can all of the above coexist? I do however, realize that
some of the above are GPL and others are commercial products, so we don't
need to get into that. Is there a URL that will cover this?

Cheers,

Brian
