Of course it should. It does not. I simply cannot find the necessary |
| 8 |
invocations and USE flags etc. No matter what I try I cannot get printing |
| 9 |
to work over the network. I always get a succession of success messages |
| 10 |
from cups, followed by "printer does not exist" when I try to print a test |
| 11 |
page. That's a pretty strange definition of success in anybody's book. Even |
| 12 |
a straightforward postscript laser cannot be made to work now. |

I'm going to give it up altogether as a lost cause. Every machine on the |
| 15 |
network will have to have the printers set up locally, and be carried to |
| 16 |
where the printers are whenever a print job is needed. |

This is one giant black mark for Linux, the ultimate networking OS. I've |
| 19 |
been using Linux on-and-off for about 15 years, but I'm seriously |
| 20 |
considering the future of it in this house. |

Thanks for trying to help. |
