	I'm beginning to think that this is a distribution related problem. I've been 
using CUPS for years and have found it to be easy to use & reliable. I just 
installed a new Debian Etch system yesterday using an HP laser printer over a 
USB cable. The printer was correctly recognized, installed & worked the first 
time I tried to print a test page.

	The reason I say distribution related is that setting up a cups.conf file 
from scratch _would_ be a real pain whereas Debian (shameless plug) and I'm 
sure others has it configured to work out-of-the-box.

	Just my 2 cents worth.
