I just bought a new printer, a Samsung ML-2851ND. Thought "OK, let's install that thing". Just out of curiosity I watched /var/log/messages when I connected it (it has network, but I'm using USB at the moment). What do I see?

Ok, lets see: snoopy:~% lpq ML-2850-Series is ready no entries Wow. No, WOW! I knew it's a PostScript printer and expected little work. But that was an absolute zero-conf thing. Just plug it in and print. As I said - I'm *really* impressed....
