Hi,

So, what are we going to do in the meantime? CUPS is rather standard these
days for *nix desktop users and all to print to devices. I personally
think that it fits perfectly into the Handbook, which describes common
things that one can do with a FreeBSD installation. Having CUPS
installation et all in a a different article makes it prone to get lost in
time.

Personally I do not recall the discussion at all; please doc@ discuss this
so that we can reach a global consensus regarding this topic, ofcourse I
will hook up with the majority if they think this should indeed be an
article.

Thanks,
Remko
