15 What??? I run lprng on my machine, not cups. Does that mean that
16 libreoffice will be broken the next time I update? Please tell me I've

19 Just to make things clear, I utterly detest cups, with its arrogance, its

21 not going to be faced by the choice of abandoning libreoffice or using
22 cups?
