So it is, and so it does.  (Once you get it configured - I guess we'll
overlook that it's too difficult for Eric S. Raymond.  :)

I'd love to hear such a talk.  I haven't messed with configuration since
setting CUPS up initially (with my first Libranet install, back in Version
1.9 days).  That server is still running.  OOo seems to find CUPS
automatically.  XPP just works too.  Like you said.

I enjoyed your talk last night very much, incidentally.  Thank you for
sharing.
