I always have a lot of problems with printers (and sound cards). Do many people use CUPS? Do they find that they can get their desktop wordprocessing done well? I really like KDE and chose it over Gnome in large part because of Konqueror and Koffice. I am really not trying to start a flamewar, but curious about what experiences/thoughts other new users have.
