Hmmm.  The only problem I ever had with CUPS was that it's way too difficult 
to build from source.  There are just too many hoops, especially when you 
start dealing with their funky GS, and the build defaults are stupid.  The 
prebuilt versions I've had shipped with distros have always worked really 
well, and CUPS is definitely my preferred printing system.  The web-gui is 
simple and easy, and configuring network printing for multiple OS'es is cake.  
My RH8-based print server has been doing the job at the house for many moons 
without so much as a hiccup.  By comparison, setting up raw queues for 
Winprint and bounce queues for *nix was downright annoying.  With CUPS it's 
all the same, no matter which client OS I happen to be using.
