You've CUPSed a long way, baby
I am sitting at a lounge in Detroit waiting for my flight to Argentina for Debconf. They have a printer available, an hp2010 and I wanted another copy of my itinerary.
The guy in front of me is plugged in and got the CD of drivers from the front desk and was wrestling with this thing for like 15 minutes. I finally decided to help the poor guy print his dreaded spreadsheet of what seemed like lots of work for the guy.
He went on his way and I plugged in the usb cable. Getting ready to go into the menu to configure the thing a notification thinger pops up and told me the printer was ready. It didn't even ask me a question. NOT A THING.
