Printer setup

[ElDiabloConCaca]

CUPS ain't any easier to use than Mac OS X's printer setup dialogues -- in fact, it would be even MORE confusing to a novice.

If the original poster is looking for that "it's easy touch," then manually configuring the CUPS printing sub-system or using the CUPS web-based administration page is definitely not the way to go.

Being the original poster.

First thing first, no I do not know about cups, nor that they existed in Mac. I use cups for tea. ;-)

Second, I think present printing setups are there to try to do too much. Which leads to confusion. Look at picture printing, who has control? The printer (which often has settings - preset - to improve image quality), the print driver of Mac (that tries to determine page %, orientation, etc.) or the program (such as elements..).

So trying to print the most simple photograph is often a repetitve task - not eco/green-friendly on the ink/paper front.

But, next time I have tea, I'll look at the mac cups just out of curiosity.
