KDEprint is incredibly powerful, no matter what printing system you have installed. It supports rather well the native BSD printing system, but there is no doubt that the CUPS support is the most complete of all the printing systems. I suspect you will find this page interesting, it explains much better than I can what kdeprint is and can do: http://printing.kde.org/info/ Actually the whole site is interesting reading for those interested in printing matters. I also think you may be interested in assisting Michael Goffioul round out the support for BSD's printing - it is actually the default printing system offered if CUPS is not found. > I suspect it would work better if the no-cups version was the default. > The people who know what cups is will immediately understand the > significance of "kde-with-cups" would mean, whereas someone who is > not looking for cups is likely to just install whatever "kde" is. I really have no preference - either way, the users should be kept happy, which is the main concern in the end.
