For a long time now, I've said that one thing holding Linux back was its
printing capabilities. Well, I hadn't tried CUPS (http://www.cups.org)
before.
After a 30-second, fool-proof install, you point your browser to
localhost:631, add a printer (only HP's and Epson's are covered by the
free/Free version) and send a print job, and boom, it works. I was blown
away by it. The whole management thing is actually more complete than the
print manager stuff you get with Windows, with the exception of the cool
2-way communication stuff that tells you how much ink you have left and
whatnot.
If you're frustrated by getting printing to work under linux, give CUPS a
try. Very cool stuff...
