Hm... Can you not try to print to file (postscript, pdf) and then use |
| 7 |
lpr (which will filter it through ghostscript) to print? Yes, it's an |
| 8 |
extra step but going through the extra steps of finding a new "office |
| 9 |
suite" that fits you and your needs may not be worth it. Besides, you |
| 10 |
can always print extra copies, do fine tuning of the printing (like |
| 11 |
printing duplex, two pages or more on the same page etc.) this way. |

I do agree with you that CUPS is perhaps a bit convoluted, difficult to |
| 14 |
understand (when it comes to configuration) etc. When "it" (CUPS) |
| 15 |
"feels" like not playing, then there can be quite a few hours of |
| 16 |
frustration and cursing before getting it to work... but it works for |
| 17 |
me, currently;I have a very nice duplex laser printer from Kyocera with |
| 18 |
Linux support out of the box which helps... :-) |
