It's not a failing of CUPS..but the failing of the various camps that produce GUI applications in the UNIX/Linux world. It's getting better but it can be a painful growth for some people.
But whatever happened to the idea that the 'printing situation' should be totally independent of the application... and .PS files were a good means of keeping things separate. Then let the print server (aka LPRng or whatever) handle the translations of .PS into whatever is needed for the particular printer. I really, really don't like the idea of having to diddle with all kinds of apps just so they play nice with CUPs... I thought CUPs was better than that.. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
