Grr.... cups....progress

[Shawn Tayler]

This brings up an interesting point.  I've been moving my systems to cups
from lprng, mainly because of strangness setting up apsfilter and lpr
together, just keeps giving me timeout and other errors, even with a PS
printer.  Cups has virtually aliminated this.

My only complaint is the need for a graphical setup.  Is there a commandline setup for CUPS?
