The problem here is that CUPS is really mostly useful if your using Gnome for your desktop, because there's a lot of GUI configuration software that is written for that desktop that makes CUPS configuration a snap. (and installing foomatic drivers and the like) If your not a right-clicker or an i-book flipper than it's understandable you would wonder why there's so much attention paid to CUPS for FreeBSD since it does nothing for the usual command line junkie.
