printing will work regardless of whether you have gnome or not. |

cups is what it is, it is not a gnome app. |

I don't know of any gotchas with removing gnome (I usually call that a |
21 |
feature with huge benefits...). All that a profile is, is a bunch of |
22 |
pre-configured settings. It's a starting point and the contents of your |
23 |
settings in /etc/portage modifies them. Portage will sort everything out |
24 |
when you emerge -avuND world and give you what you need according to |
25 |
your config |
