In the past there was www.cups.org with a CUPS related bug tracking system and user forums around CUPS. It seems that the server crashed some time ago and it's unknown when (and how) it will come back to life. Even when, it seems that some important part of CUPS (the text filters) is split away to the 'open printing folks', and I'm unsure if the forums will cover the full tool chain: from the file, through the job scheduler, filters, backend and printer device. That's why I wanted to ask, what about our own mailing list like freebsd-printing@ ? Even in the new age of colourful images, printing is essential for servers, and sometimes a tough job.
